For those of us who believe.  Easter is when we take the time to remember/reflect the time when our Savior Jesus Christ was sacrificed on the cross in order to save our souls, so that we may be forgiven our sins and allowed to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Easter is the celebration of Jesus Christ's Resurrection from the dead.

Not a thing. Before Christians appropriated it, Easter was a fertility festival, and it is clear how bunnies and eggs would factor into that. The paganism of the holiday never really went away, even after Christians began calling it Easter.

I love Easter...the spring, sunshine, lillies, daffodils, and of course, the resurrection of the Savior!

nope. Easter is a religious holiday. The 1st Amendment prevents the State from recognizing one religion over another.

Well, not always. There are only 35 different days on which Easter can fall, and people have been celebrating Easter on Sunday for more than 35 years, so there have been some duplicates.\n\nEaster falls on the Sunday following the first full moon on or after the Spring equinox. Since the Spring equinox usually falls on March 21, if there is a full moon on that day then and if it is a Saturday, Easter can be as early as March 22. Easter can also be as late as April 25.\n\nThis year, there was a full moon on March 14 (too early) and there will be one on April 13 (just right). Easter is the Sunday following, April 16.

easter is the day that jesus ressurected and people celebrate it to honor that.  its the day that lint is over and most (religious) people go to church.  the whole easter egg thing probably began because eggs symbolize life and whatnot and somewhere in the past it turned into a hunt for children to do.  and easter is always celebrated on the 3rd sunday of april.  the wednesday before is passover and the friday before is good friday.

Easter is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon and the Paschcal full moon is determined by the date of the first actual full moon that occurs after the vernal equinox (the first day of spirng).\n\nThe date of the Paschal Full Moon can differ from the date of the actual full moon by up to 2 days but will always occur between March 21 and April 18 and so Easter Sunday will fall on or between March 22 and April 19.\n\nThese are the dates for Western Easter Sunday (WES), Orthodox Easter Sunday (OES) can fall on different dates.\n\nThis year WES is on April 16th and OES is on April 23rd, next year it will be 8th April for both WES and OES.

Going to church for today. We did an Easter egg hunt earlier in the week with my two married sisters and their children. After three rounds of the children finding the eggs the adults hid, the fourth round was reversed, and adults had to find the (hard-boiled) eggs the children hid. It was hard! There's still one somewhere in the living room we couldn't find! Usually we celebrate Easter with reading part of the New Testament or Book of Mormon about Christ's death and resurrection. My little brother is 18 and too old for Easter baskets. My mom used to make "bunny bread" in the shape of a large bunny, or bunny rolls which included a little "tail" in the middle.

The new date is April 17th.  This is due to the Easter Holiday this weekend.  If you live in Massachusetts the date is April 18th.  This is due to the 18th being Patriots Day.
