Easter is coming early this spring, so mark your calendars for April 9, 2023! The date for Easter changes every year since it is a movable holiday that always falls on a Sunday.

This spring holiday is linked to warmer temperatures, fun outdoor activities, and a burst of color. Some traditions and symbols connected to Easter have evolved over the years while others still remain after centuries. People from around the world celebrate Easter a little differently.

How Do You Celebrate Easter?

Easter is a celebration for everyone. If you are Christian, you can start off by attending a church service as a way of remembering Jesus’ resurrection. Some churches also host youth-centered services and activities where they read the Easter story.

Eggs are used in many Easter activities. It is because eggs are a symbol of new life, representing Jesus’ emergence from the tomb. Here are some egg-related activities you can try this Easter:

• Dye or paint Easter eggs
• Decorate an Easter egg tree
• Go on an Easter egg hunt
• Take part in the Easter egg roll race
• Make chocolate eggs or bunnies

Candies are also abundant during Easter. In fact, it is the second best-selling candy holiday after Halloween. Chocolate eggs and jelly beans take the spotlight during Easter because of their shapes.

Bunnies are another folkloric figure and popular symbol of Easter. They are an ancient representation of fertility and new life. Children decorate baskets where these egg-laying hares can lay their colorful eggs. These bunnies also deliver treats to kids the night before Easter.

Throughout Easter, there are a variety of fun activities for everyone to enjoy. Make sure you have your eggs, paintbrush, and bunny ears ready for the festivities!
