Easter is the most important festival in the Christian
church year. It begins with Good Friday. The Romans killed Jesus Christ in
Jerusalem about two thousand years ago. Christians believe in the Resurrection
of Jesus Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion.
Why is Easter on a different day each year? This is because Easter Sunday is the Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring (21 March).
Easter eggs, Easter Rabbit (Easter Bunny) and sending Easter cards are tradition not only in Britain. The cards are often in green or yellow or show baby animals, because lots of animals are born in spring. This tradition goes back to the 19th century.
But there are also other important traditions.
