Why is Easter celebrated? Significance, history, meaning of Easter eggs
Easter is a Christian festival that commemorates Jesus Christ's resurrection. This year's holiday falls on April 21 and will be observed all over the world. Easter is three days after Jesus' crucifixion by the Romans, according to the New Testament of the Bible. Easter brings to a close the "Passion of Christ," which started with Lent, a 40-day duration of fasting, and ended with Holy Week. Holy Thursday (the commemoration of Jesus' last supper) and Good Friday (the crucifixion of Jesus Christ) are part of Holy Week, which concludes on Easter Sunday.
History
The story of Easter is told in the New Testament of the Bible, in which Jesus is arrested by Roman authorities for claiming to be the "Son of God." Pontius Pilate, the Roman emperor, then sentenced him to death by crucifixion. Easter is celebrated three days after his resurrection. The Jewish festival of Passover is also celebrated on this day.
Celebrations
Easter is a joyous occasion, and Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, commemorates Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem. Various churches hold an Easter Vigil service in the late hours of Saturday to kick off the festivities. The tradition of Easter eggs, which reflect fertility and birth, and the Easter bunny, who brings chocolates and candy to children on Sunday morning, are both non–religious celebrations.

Easter Eggs
Easter gifts include chocolate-filled eggs and brightly painted eggs with candy inside. As the holidays arrive after a 40-day lent period, people prefer to loosen their purse strings and splurge on the Easter weekend.
A treasure hunt, such as looking for Easter eggs, and games like egg rolling and egg decorating are examples of non-religious Easter rituals.
Did you know?
Easter Eggs are secret messages or pop culture references in movies, video games, and other media. This is because Easter eggs are designed to resemble the Easter egg hunt that takes place during the festival. It's possible that these are secret messages, characters, or pictures. It's as if the software programmers or directors have a little secret that they want to share but keep private. Looking for Easter eggs is a fun and engaging activity since it typically reveals more about the character or plotline.
In almost every Disney film, the famous Mickey Mouse ears or head appear in a scene. Similarly, characters from previous films have been known to ‘visit' each other in animated films such as The Lion King (1994), Little Mermaid (1989), Lilo & Stitch (2002), Finding Nemo (2003), Frozen (2013), and others, either as guests, toys, or wall clocks.
