Understanding Easter: Frequently Asked Questions
When is Easter 2023?
Easter falls on Sunday, April 9th, 2023. The date of Easter varies each year, as it is determined by the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which usually falls between March 22nd and April 25th.
What is Easter and why is it celebrated?
Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It marks the end of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. The resurrection of Jesus, as described in the New Testament, signifies hope, renewal, and the victory of good over evil. Easter is considered the most important Christian festival, as it embodies the central belief of Christianity – the resurrection of Jesus and the promise of eternal life.
Why is the bunny associated with Easter?
The Easter bunny symbolizes fertility and new life, as rabbits are known for their reproductive abilities. The tradition of the Easter bunny delivering eggs to children dates back to the 1700s in Germany. German immigrants brought the custom to America, where it eventually gained popularity and became a widely celebrated tradition. The Easter bunny has since evolved into a beloved character that brings joy and excitement to children worldwide.
Why do we have eggs at Easter?
Eggs represent new life and rebirth, which aligns with the resurrection theme of Easter. They have been part of Easter celebrations for centuries, and are often painted or decorated to symbolize the renewal of life. In many cultures, eggs are considered a symbol of fertility, and they have been used in various springtime rituals to celebrate the arrival of new life and the end of winter.
Why do we eat chocolate on Easter?
Eating chocolate at Easter is a modern twist on the egg tradition. Chocolate eggs were first introduced in the 19th century and have since become a popular Easter treat. In the early days, chocolate eggs were made of solid chocolate, but over time, hollow chocolate eggs with a variety of fillings became more popular. Today, chocolate eggs, bunnies, and other confections are a staple of Easter celebrations around the world.
