Easter is a celebrated Christian holiday but unlike Christmas falls on a different date each year. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere and is typically between the dates of 22nd March and 25th April.
Easter marks the end of Lent, a time of fasting and the celebration of new life. Christians and non-Christians give and receive chocolate eggs, often participating in games such as an Easter egg hunt, egg decorating and rolling and enjoying family gatherings, as well as attending a special Easter church service of light, flowers and music. Children often parade in decorated home made hats.
