Easter, the Sunday of the Resurrection, or Resurrection Day, is the most important religious feast of the Christian liturgical year, observed between late March and late April (early April to early May in Eastern Christianity). It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which his followers believe occurred on the third day after his death by crucifixion some time in the period AD 27 to 33 (see Good Friday). In the Roman Catholic Church, Easter is actually an eight-day feast called the Octave of Easter.
Easter also refers to the season of the church year, lasting for fifty days, from Easter Sunday through Pentecost.
Yet all these centuries of celebration - and still a no show from Jesus.
Happy easter to you all.

The Celebration Of Easter typically falls on a Sunday after the ritual of 40 days of refraining from ingesting lactose rich foods, except for once every 4 years when the Easter Bunny surfaces from his lair under the Peperidge Farms hen houses and sees his shadow which gives us 6 more weeks of politically instability during which the "holiday" is pushed aside in favor of campaigning politicians winning the hearts of people everywhere by falsifying their curious indescretions and planning ahead to not keep the promises they make with heart warming albeit murderous smiles. Though the modern celebration of this event differs much from how it was originally introduced, with the Easter Bunny at the forefront of the Crusades of the 1500's raping and pillaging wherever he happened to be, we now celebrate the pain of all his former victims with a 3 day long festival starting with Good Friday during which we give thanks for the fact that he was brave and selfless enough to plunge in head first without any regard to his own safety and kill all the peasants inflicted with the Black Plague so that we may all live plague free one day, followed by Holy Saturday which was taken as a direct quotation from Francis the XV, when he remarked one Saturday morning "HOLY CRAP IT'S A TALKING CHOCOLATE BUNNY", followed by Easter Sunday with which you are now familiar.

Thanks, but if you want to be follow the guidelines of Christian correctness (similar to political correctness) you have to call it "Resurrection Sunday" and not Easter.
Since I'm not known for letting other people determine what is correct but only God's Word, Happy Easter works fine for me! :o)

I am Christian, so I celebrate the Passover;
the easter celebration is a pagan holiday,
I think you probably just mis-typed or something. But have a nice week. Oh, and happy easter to all the Pagan folks on the forum.
