About Easter Day
Easter Sunday is one of the central holidays of the Christian calendar. It commemorates the resurrection of Jesus and is observed as a movable feast, meaning its Gregorian date changes each year. Easter also determines the timing of several related Christian observances, including Ascension Day and Whit Monday.
Significance
Easter is significant because it stands at the center of the Christian liturgical year in many traditions. It shapes a wider seasonal cycle that includes Lent, Holy Week, and later movable feasts. Because its date is calculated rather than fixed, Easter strongly influences the structure of the annual Christian holiday calendar.
