About Easter
Easter is the most important festival in the Christian calendar, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. It comes at the end of Holy Week, after Good Friday.
Its traditions include church services, painted eggs, egg hunts, Easter bunnies and family meals. Orthodox churches follow a different calendar, so their Easter often falls on a later Sunday.
Make the wait part of the fun
- Plan an egg hunt and start collecting clever hiding places.
- Set aside an afternoon to paint eggs together.
- If you’re travelling over the long weekend, book early: Easter dates move every year.
