Easter is a pivotal holiday in the Christian calendar, celebrated by Christians worldwide to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It follows Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. Lent culminates in Holy Week, which includes Good Friday, the day of Jesus' crucifixion.
The resurrection, which Easter Sunday honors, is a cornerstone of Christian faith, symbolizing new life and hope. This celebration is not only religious in nature but also has become a time for families to gather, often participating in cultural customs like Easter egg hunts.
