For Christians, the most important religious occasion in a year would without any doubt is Easter Bunny Origin which is the day when Jesus Christ rose from the dead - two days following his crucifixion which in turn took place between AD 26 and AD 36. Though it is a religious occasion, a number or cultural and non-religious elements have also been added to this holiday making it an occasion that is celebrated by Christians as well as people that are not Christians.
Eastertide, Lasts For Forty Plus Days
Easter also happens to a be a season that is referred to by the church as Eastertide or even the Easter Season which by tradition lasts for about forty days starting with Easter day and continuing up till Ascension Day; of late, however this has been extended to fifty days - right up till Pentecost. Easter Week is the first week during the celebrations to mark the Resurrection of Christ and is also known as Octave of Easter.
It is a day that also signifies the time when Lent (season for penance and prayer) comes to an end. However, Easter is not a fixed event since it is not celebrated on the same day according to the civil calendar and it can in fact begin any time during the months of late March and up to the end of April on any given year.
All churches now agree that Easter falls on the first Sunday following the 14th day of the moon or Paschal Full Moon that in turn falls on or just following the equinox (ecclesiastical vernal.) Passover or the time when Jesus ate His Last Supper is also closely associated with this occasion - both in terms of symbolism as well as in terms of the calendar.
However, this is an occasion that is observed differently by the Western world as compared to the Eastern world with Roman Catholics, Lutherans and Anglicans observing this day at night on Holy Saturday. Furthermore, the celebration of this holy day goes beyond pure religious ceremony as can be seen in the form of a number of different Easter games as well as customs of which egg rolling and egg tapping as well as pace egging and egg decorating is good examples.
Children in particular love Easter because of the lovely Easter Bunny Origin gifts that they receive and also because the get many different surprise gifts. The egg in particular is an important part of the Easter celebrations - having its roots in pagan symbols of rebirth and fertility. In modern times, this is an occasion that has become a commercial event that sees widespread sales of greeting cards along with confectionary and it is also an occasion when non-Christians too join in the celebrations.
