Question

"Easter: the holiest day of the Christmas calendar, a celebration of Jesus Christ
resurrection from the dead. So, what does this miracle have to do with a bunny
delivering painted eggs? The answer lies in a hundred generations of rituals and
custom.
A.
According to the Gospels of the New Testament, Jesus Christ and his apostles entered
Jerusalem to observe Passover, the Jewish holy season that celebrates the Hebrews'
release from slavery. After the Passover supper, Jesus was arrested and, on what is
now called Good Friday, he was crucified.
Two days later, he rose from the dead. Those of Jewish origins were the first to
celebrate the resurrection, likely as a new fast of the Passover festival.
B.
In fact, the Easter celebration was called PASCHA. It's derived from the world
PESACH, the Jewish translation for Passover.
C..
Originally Easter was celebrated two days after Passover, so it fell on any day of the
week but Easter Wednesday just didn't feel right. In 325 AD, the Roman emperor
Constantin and the Council of Nicaea ruled that Easter must fall only on a Sunday, the
day when Christ rose. Easter Sunday would be the first Sunday to follow the full moon
after the spring equinox. They would occur anywhere between March 22 and April 25.
D.
Around the same time, Christians began one of the first recorded rituals of the modern
history celebrations: the lighting of the Paschal candle. Its flame is a reminder of Jesus
Christ resurrection: light out of darkness.​
