1. The Legend of Easter

Easter is one of the most important days in Christianity, symbolizing rebirth and hope, and marking the beginning of spring. According to the Bible, Jesus was betrayed by his disciple, sentenced to death after the Last Supper, and crucified. However, when people came to bury him, they found his body missing, realizing that Jesus had resurrected on the third day after his crucifixion. This event is a core belief in Christianity, and Easter, also known as Resurrection Sunday, is celebrated to honor Jesus' resurrection.

2. The Date of Easter

Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. The longer days and shorter nights after the equinox symbolize the triumph of light over darkness. The full moon represents light shining in the darkness, and Sunday, the first day of the week in the Jewish calendar, marks the day of Jesus' resurrection, representing a new beginning. Due to the varying date of the vernal equinox each year, Easter falls between March 20 and April 25.

3. Eggs and Bunnies

One of the most well-known Easter traditions is the Easter egg and bunny. According to ancient European folklore, eggs symbolize spring and new life, while bunnies, known for their fertility, represent spring and vitality. Bunnies are also associated with the full moon, aligning with the meaning and calculation of Easter, making them another symbol of the holiday.
