Easter is also acknowledged as Pascha or Resurrection Sunday. It is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The holiday is described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of Jesus’ burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD.
In Western society, families gather their children for Easter themed gatherings that involve Easter egg decorations, Easter egg hunts, and Easter bunnies. There’s meaning behind each of these traditions. For example: Eggs represent new life and rebirth, and it’s thought that this is how the ancient custom became an integral part of Easter celebrations. In the medieval period, eating eggs was forbidden during Lent (the 40 days before Easter) so on Easter Sunday, tucking into an egg was a real delight.
Celebrities go above and beyond for their little loved ones to celebrate the occasion. This year celebrity families like Palmer and her son, Leo, posted creative photos perfectly in theme. While Burruss and her young ones smiled for an Easter themed photoshoot.
However you like to celebrate, the most important part of the festivities is spending time with family.
