Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. Easter was the earliest feast day decreed by the ancient Christian Church. Many Christians consider Easter to be the most important holiday in their faith.
Like its Jewish predecessor, Passover, Easter is a movable feast, based on the lunar calendar rather than occurring on the same Sunday every year. This holiday can fall as early as March 22 and as late as April 25.

On the lighter side, let’s have a little pun fun with the Easter Bunny:
A man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. Unfortunately, the rabbit hopped in front of his car, and the basket of colored eggs and candy went flying all over the place.
The driver got out of his car to see what had become of the Easter Bunny, and to his dismay, found that the Bunny was no longer breathing. The driver began to cry.
A woman driving down the same highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to do. She went to her car trunk and pulled out a spray can, walked over to the limp, dead Bunny and sprayed the entire contents of the can onto the little furry animal.
Miraculously the Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped up, picked up the spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped on down the road. Fifty yards away the Easter Bunny stopped, turned around, waved and hopped on down the road. After another 50 yards, he turned and waved and then hopped another 50 yards, and waved again!
The man was astonished. He asked the woman, “What was it that you sprayed on the Easter Bunny?”
The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: “Hare spray: Restores life to dead hare. Adds permanent wave.”
