Easter is an important holiday in the west, which falls on the first Sunday after the full moon at the vernal equinox every year. Easter is also called the main Easter. As can be seen from the calendar, Easter in 2024 is Friday, March 3 1 day.

In the early days, the church used it instead of Passover. Some churches began to hold commemorative activities on the month of Nisa 14 in the Jewish calendar; In 325, the Nicaean Conference stipulated that the first Sunday after the full moon at the vernal equinox was Easter. 1582 Western Europe changed to Gregorian calendar (Gregorian calendar). Some churches in the East still follow julian calendar, so Easter is usually one or two weeks or even five weeks later than Catholicism and Protestantism.

During the festival, people give Easter eggs to each other, symbolizing life and prosperity. Because the vernal equinox is not fixed every year, the exact date of Easter is also uncertain. But the festival period is roughly between March 22 and April 25.

The symbol of Easter

During the festival, according to the traditional custom, people cooked the eggs and painted them red, representing the tears of the swan and the happiness of the goddess of life after her birth.

This activity is very popular, and the White House will also organize this game during Easter.
