Easter, one of the most significant holidays in Christianity, celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament. It is observed on a Sunday in spring, following the 40-day period of Lent, a time of reflection and fasting. Easter symbolizes hope, renewal, and victory over sin and death. Traditions associated with the holiday include church services, festive meals, and activities like egg hunts and the exchange of chocolate or candy eggs, which represent new life. While its roots are deeply religious, Easter is also celebrated culturally by people around the world in various ways.
