Easter is a major Christian holiday that commemorates the resurrection of
Jesus Christ. It is celebrated on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25.
The 40 days leading up to Easter are observed as Lent. Besides the
religious aspects of Easter, people also celebrate spring or the signs of
new life. Flowers are seen everywhere. There are often Easter Parades
such as the one in New York City where people dress up in their new spring
clothes. Children receive Easter baskets filled with candy Easter eggs,
chocolate bunnies and jelly beans! The dying of eggs with food color is
also an Easter tradition in many American families.
