Easter Sunday is the central and most significant celebration in the Christian liturgical calendar, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament of the Bible.
Easter is a movable feast, meaning its date changes each year. It is celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
Easter Sunday marks the beginning of the liturgical season of Eastertide, which lasts for 50 days until the celebration of Pentecost (Sunday, May 24 in 1863).
