2. Easter - Overview


Easter, also known as Pascha, the Feast of the Resurrection, the Sunday of the Resurrection, or Resurrection Day, is the most important religious feast of the Christian liturgical year, observed between late March and late April. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which his followers believe occurred on the third day after his death by crucifixion some time in the period AD 27 to 33. In the Roman Catholic Church, Easter is actually an eight-day feast called the Octave of Easter.

3. History


In most languages of Christian societies, other than English, German and some Slavic, the holiday’s name is derived from Pesach, the Hebrew name of Passover. Easter depends on Passover not only for much of its symbolic meaning but also for its position in the calendar; the Last Supper shared by Jesus and his disciples before his crucifixion is generally thought of as a Passover Seder, based on the chronology in the Synoptic Gospels. The Gospel of John has a different chronology which has Christ’s death at the time of the slaughter of the Passover lambs, which might have been for theological reasons but which is regarded by some scholars as more historically likely given the surrounding events. This would put the Last Super slightly before Passover, on 14 Nisan of the Bible’s Hebrew calendar.

4. Date of Easter


In Western Christianity, Easter always falls on a Sunday from March 22 to April 25 inclusive. The following day, Easter Monday, is a legal holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian traditions. In Eastern Christianity, Easter falls between April 4 and May 8 between 1900 and 2100 based on Gregorian date.

Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts, in that they don’t fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars. Instead, they are based on a lunar calendar similar – but not identical – to the Hebrew Calendar. The precise date of Easter has often been a matter for contention.
