Most Christians will celebrate Easter Sunday, April 20. Many religious holidays like Easter are known as “movable feasts,” which means they are not fixed dates on the calendar, but are celebrated in accordance with the lunisolar calendar. Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon, which is the first full moon of spring, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.
Easter occurs shortly after the vernal equinox.
Easter is a central holy day of Christianity and commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus three days after His death by crucifixion. Jesus’ resurrection is an awe-inspiring component of Easter.
