Easter, otherwise known as Resurrection Sunday, is one of the principal Christian festivals and cultural holidays commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Easter as described in the New Testament occurred three days after the death of Jesus by crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful end to the Lenten season of fasting and penitence.

Easter ushers the end to the “Passion of Christ,” a series of events and holidays that begins with Lent—a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and sacrifice—and ends with Holy Week, which includes Holy Thursday (the celebration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his 12 Apostles, also known as “Maundy Thursday”), Good Friday (on which Jesus’ crucifixion is observed) and Easter Sunday.
Easter falls on a different date each year. However, Easter 2022 occurs on Sunday, April 17. Unlike Christmas, Easter Sunday and celebrations like Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday do not have fixed dates and can be moved.
