Easter

Easter is the central religious feast of the Christian year. According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Some Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday, two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance. During lent people nowadays abstain not only from meat but also from things like television or computer games. The fasting, should teach people to give up her habits. The Lent should also remind us of the fact that Jesus went during 40 days of suffering. As well as Jesus we should also renounce something for 40 days. Children connect this party with the Easter search. The eggs which are found with it may be kept by them and are consumed. Relatively newer elements such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts have become part of the holiday's modern celebrations, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.
