Festival development

The early church used it to replace the Jewish Passover. Some churches began to hold commemorative activities on the 14th of Nisan in the Jewish calendar; the Council of Nicaea in 325 stipulated that the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox each year was Easter. In 1582, Western Europe switched to the Gregorian calendar. Some churches in the East still use the Julian calendar, so their Easter is usually one to two weeks, or even five weeks later than that of Catholics and Protestants. During the festival, people give each other Easter eggs, which symbolize life and prosperity.

Since the vernal equinox is not fixed every year, the specific date of Easter every year is also uncertain. But the festival is roughly between March 22nd and April 25th.

Origin

Easter, like Christmas, is a foreign holiday. The New Testament in the Bible records that Jesus was crucified on the cross and resurrected on the third day, hence the name Easter. Easter is the most important festival in Christianity, more important than Christmas. The origin and festival of the religion are in Israel.

According to the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible, Jesus Christ was resurrected three days after his death on the cross, so this festival was established. Based on the Bible and the date of the Passover of the advanced Israelites, historians have calculated that the first Sunday after the full moon after the vernal equinox (March 21) is the day Jesus was resurrected in the Bible.

Since the vernal equinox is not fixed every year, the specific date of Easter every year is also uncertain. But the festival is roughly between March 22nd and April 25th. Regarding the death of Jesus Christ, according to Christian teachings, it is to atone for the sins of the world; the resurrection of the body of Jesus Christ is to enable believers to obtain eternal life. Therefore, in Christianity, Easter has extremely important significance. Most of the festivals in the UK have religious origins.

Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the vernal equinox and the full moon. It was originally the day to commemorate the birth of Astalu, the half-sister of the pagan god Baal in Western Asia. Also the mistress of Baal. According to legend, Baal learned that his sister Astalu was born in a swan egg, so he went to look for it in the bushes. When he found it, he held it in his arms and hatched a rabbit. The rabbit grew up to become a beautiful woman and married Baal. He lived with Baal and later saved Baal's life when he was in danger on Asta Road. The etymology of the English word Easter is Asta Road.
