Whenever Easter comes, everywhere I go, I see chocolate eggs and Easter bunny cakes.

But what do we celebrate on Easter?

Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The New Testament describes the resurrection occurring on the third day after his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans on Calvary around 30 AD.

Americans spend this holiday with friends and family, and some attend special services held in churches on Easter.
