Easter

Easter is one of the most significant and widely celebrated Christian holidays, typically observed on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which can fall anywhere between late March and late April. It commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. Easter is a joyous occasion that symbolizes new life, hope, and redemption. It is marked by various traditions, including attending church services, participating in Easter egg hunts, and exchanging gifts. The Easter egg, often decorated and filled with treats, represents the empty tomb of Jesus, while the Easter Bunny, a symbol of fertility and new life, is a beloved figure in many cultures. In addition to its religious significance, Easter has also evolved into a secular celebration of springtime, with vibrant displays of flowers, colorful eggs, and festive decorations. It is a time for families to come together, enjoy special meals, and share in the spirit of renewal and hope that Easter represents.

Orthodox Palm Sunday

Orthodox Palm Sunday, celebrated by Eastern Orthodox Christians, marks the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. The day is also known as "Entry into Jerusalem Sunday" and is observed on the Sunday before Easter. Orthodox Christians commemorate the event by carrying palm branches and participating in processions, symbolizing the crowd's welcome of Jesus with palm leaves. Church services include special prayers, hymns, and the blessing of palm branches. Orthodox Palm Sunday serves as a joyous and festive prelude to Holy Week, as the faithful reflect on the significance of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and anticipate the events leading to his crucifixion and resurrection.
