Easter As with almost all "Christian" holidays‚ Easter has a secular side as well. The dichotomous nature of Easter and its symbols‚ however‚ is not necessarily a modern fabrication. Easter has always had its non-religious side. In fact‚ Easter was originally a pagan festival. It was co-opted by Christian missionaries starting in the second century CE. Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25. The Lenten Season Lent is the forty-six day period just prior
