Friday Fun: Easter

Easter - April 9, 2023

Easter has its roots in the ancient traditions of the Jewish people, linked to the Jewish holidays of Passover. Those of the Christian faith believe that Jesus was crucified and buried during the celebration of Passover, and his resurrection on the third day after his death is seen as the fulfillment of the promise of salvation that is central to the Christian faith. Over time though, Easter has evolved and taken on various forms in different cultures and regions. In many countries, Easter is marked with the exchange of Easter eggs & a visit from the Easter Bunny - secular traditions.
