What are the Lunar and Pagan origins of Easter?
Easter is a Christian commemoration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that is celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon of the vernal equinox. It is the central religious feast in the Christian liturgical year, but is also celebrated by non-Christians too. Easter egg hunts, the Easter bunny, and candy are some longstanding Easter traditions. Read more about the holiday and see some facts about Easter on the left-hand side of the page!
