Easter
is celebrated as the day of rebirth of Jesus Christ, which happened 3 days
after his burial. The Easter Sunday is marked as the day when Jesus had risen
from dead, leaving his tomb. This moveable festival falls on the first Sunday
after the paschal full moon.
Greetings,
Easter eggs, and Church clippings represent this holy occasion. Easter eggs
show the hatchling of God’s only son from his tomb.
When
Mary Magdalene visited the tomb after Jesus’s death, she found it empty and an
angel informed her that Jesus had risen. Christians are celebrating this event
since centuries, tracing back to the pagans. The word Easter is originated from
Ostara who is the goddess of rebirth.
In 325 CE, Council of Nicaea decided the
day of celebration to reduce the probabilities of its falling on the day of
Jewish Passover. Julian calendar is used to decide the date of Easter. It is
the celebration of faith in god and his untamed powers which resurrected Jesus
from dead.
