About Easter
Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus and is the most important day of the Christian year. Traditions include church services, family meals, egg hunts and chocolate eggs.
Easter is on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, between March 22 and April 25. In 2027 it lands on a Sunday, so it falls on a weekend, in week 12 of the year.
