Easter is the most important and oldest religious holiday in Christianity, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion. A "dynamic holiday," Easter is not celebrated on a fixed date each year, but rather on a date determined by the phases of the moon.

Important Traditions and Symbols

Easter celebrations include both religious ceremonies and popular folk traditions rooted in ancient spring festivals.

Easter Egg: A symbol of new life and the empty tomb of Jesus. Eggs are painted, decorated, and hidden for children to organize "egg hunt" games.

Easter Bunny: This figure, representing the arrival of spring and fertility, is believed to bring eggs and sweets to children.

Religious Ceremonies: The week before Easter Sunday is known as "Holy Week." This week includes significant days such as Good Friday (the crucifixion of Jesus) and Holy Saturday (the waiting period).

Special Dishes: Traditional foods such as lamb, ham, and "hot cross buns" are commonly consumed at celebrations.
