What is Easter?
•Easter is the time for holidays, festivals
• It’s a time for giving chocolate Easter eggs.
But Easter means much more....
•Easter is the oldest and the most important Christian Festival,
•The celebration of the death and coming to life again of Jesus Christ.
•For Christians, the dawn of Easter Sunday with its message of new
life is the high point of the Christian year
What is the Easter story ?
Easter is the story of Jesus' last days in Jerusalem before his death.
It is a sad story because Jesus was killed.
But the story has a very happy ending, because Jesus came back
to life and visited his friends and followers once more.
He did not die at all, but went back up to Heaven to be with God,
his father.
Why does the date of Easter move?
Easter is called a moveable feast because the date of Easter
changes every year.
Easter Sunday can fall on any date from 22 March to 25 April.
The reason for this variation in the date of Easter is based on
the lunar calendar (moon).
Easter always falls on the first Sunday following the full Moon
(the Paschal Full Moon) after 21 March.
If the Full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the next Sunday.
