Easter 2061

Easter is one of the most essential celebrations in Christianity. It symbolizes the start of new beginnings as it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead after being crucified. It denotes hope and rebirth as the last day of the Lenten period, lasting forty days of fasting and self-restoration. While Easter's date is not fixed, it falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox.

 

Today, Easter is more popularly known as when the Easter bunny rolls around and drops a few eggs for them to search.
