Easter Funology

April 31, 2002

Easter is celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. This Christian festival celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Easter is a spiritual celebration, which includes attending church, family meals and an Easter Egg hunt. It is tradition for people to wear new outfits purchased for the occasion and to give and receive baskets filled with Easter treats.
