Easter is where Adults hide eggs for kids and the kids go hunt for the eggs, the eggs may contain candy or money inside them. Easter Is April 24th 2011 This year. Every year Easter changes It’s dates about 20 days forward. The Easter bunny is the symbol for Easter. Easter, the principal festival of the Christian church year, celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion. When Christians wanted other Christians to accept Christianity they used Easter to celebrate their Christianity. To solve this problem the emperor Constantine called the Council of Nicaea in 325. The question of the date of Easter was one of its main concerns. The council decided that Easter should fall on Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. But fixing up the date of the Equinox was still a problem. The Alexandrians, noted for their rich knowledge in astronomy calculations were given the task. And March 21 was made out to be the perfect date for spring equinox.
