Easter 2025: Date, Meaning, and Festivities

Easter, also known as Pascha or Resurrection Sunday, is a significant Christian festival that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As Easter approaches, let’s explore its importance, celebration date, and popular traditions.

When is Easter 2025?

Easter marks the foundation of Christianity, as the resurrection of Jesus symbolizes hope and renewal. This year, Easter will be celebrated on April 20, 2025. The date is determined based on the lunisolar calendar, similar to the Hebrew calendar.

Why is Easter Celebrated?

Easter concludes the Passion of Christ, which begins with 40 days of fasting during Lent. The fasting period ends during Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday. Alongside religious observances, Easter is also known for fun-filled activities like Easter eggs and the Easter bunny.

Easter Traditions & Celebrations

Easter Eggs

Easter eggs, often made of chocolate or decorated with bright colors, symbolize fertility and new beginnings. Many families and children enjoy Easter egg hunts, where they search for hidden eggs filled with candies or surprises.

The Easter Bunny

A beloved symbol of Easter, the Easter bunny is said to deliver chocolates and sweets to children on Easter Sunday morning. Families often organize fun games like egg rolling, egg decorating, and treasure hunts to make the day even more special.

Church Services & Family Gatherings

Many people attend special church services on Easter Sunday to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. Others mark the occasion with family gatherings, feasts, and gift exchanges as a way to spread love and joy.

Easter is a festival of hope, renewal, and togetherness. Whether through religious observance or fun traditions, people worldwide come together to celebrate and wish each other a Happy Easter!
