It is Easter Day! Easter Sunday or Easter Day is the principal feast of the ecclesiastical year for Christians.
Easter, or Pascha in Greek or Latin, is also known as Resurrection Sunday. It is to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead after three days of His crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary, which is also known as Golgotha. Whether in term of nature or spirit, Easter is a celebration of the victory of new life over death.
Easter Day is the end of Lent and means the end of fasting for some people. Many Christians worldwide celebrate Easter Sunday with special church services, music, candlelight, flowers and the ringing of church bells. A lot of Churches commence the Easter Sunday celebrations at Midnight on Easter Eve.
Easter customs vary across the Christian world, and include sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church, and decorating Easter eggs as a symbol of the empty tomb. Easter processions are held in some countries such as the Philippines and Spain. Many towns and villages in Italy have sacred dramas about the episodes of the Easter story. These are held in the piazzas on Easter Day
On Easter Day, Churches are filled with flowers which represent new life. The Easter lily, a symbol of the resurrection, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide.
The Easter Bunny, Easter parades, and egg hunting are some additional customs which have become associated with Easter and observed by both Christians and some non-Christians on Easter Day. Easter Eggs are normally given out on Easter Day. There are also various traditional Easter foods that vary regionally.
