Easter is the Christian celebration of the resurrection of its founder, Jesus Christ. It was celebrated as early as the Church's beginnings but was not set at an affixed date until the time of Polycarp and when the Romans under Constantine accepted Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. It is based on the first Sunday after the first full moon of the springtime and usually tries to get as close to the Passover as much as possible.

Easter is the Christian celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was officially celebrated once Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. Its date is movable, and dependent upon the phases of the moon. There was a dispute about the date between the Roman Catholic Church and the Celtic Church which was settled in favour of the former at the Synod of Whitby in 664AD

I am SURE you mean Easter, not Ea seter. At any rate, Easter is the holiday in the Christian calendar where they celebrate the Christ's crucifixion where he died for the sins of mankind and rose from the dead three day after to open the gates of heaven to all who would accept His word and following his teachings.
Chow!!
