Easter

Why do we celebrate Easter ? Really why do we celebrate Easter, every year in the month of

April or March on a Sunday kids get up to find easter baskets that were filled up with candy by

the Easter bunny. Some people go to church to celebrate Easter and finish it up with a big lunch

with their family. Other people stay home with their family and cook a big dinner and spend

quality time. Out of all the months of the year, why does Easter fall in the month of March an

April, and to be exact why is celebrated on a sunday ? “ Easter is celebrated the world over to

mark the ressurection of Jesus Christ”. Also Easter is observed anywhere between March 22

and April 25 of every year. Also a good question is what does the word easter even mean,

Who started this tradition, and where did it come from, and why was it made up ?

Television Networks tells all about Easter and why we celebrate it. It tells that we

celebrate Easter because of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. In this website it tells about how

Easter is called a moveable feast because it does not fall on a set date every year. I can

use this source very effectively in my paper because it tells about the origins of Easter. “Easter.”
