Easter Sunday 🐰🪺
Hello Mito Amity students and family! (っ˘ω˘ς )
This week, we will be talking about a popular holiday that is celebrated around the world: Easter! Easter is set to be next Sunday, April 20th.
Easter is both a Christian festival and a cultural celebration. For Christians, Easter marks the end of Holy Week and is a time for celebrating Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. Easter Sunday is also celebrated by many people who are not practicing Christians. In the UK, US, and many other Western countries, people gather together for a special Easter lunch, play games like scavenger hunts, and exchange sweet treats like Easter eggs.
Unlike Christmas, Easter falls on a different date every year because it is based on the patterns of the moon. This phenomenon is sometimes called a ‘moveable feast’. Easter is set to always take place on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon, which varies from year to year.
Easter follows Lent, which is a period of fasting and a time for Christians to reflect on their behavior and actions. While non-religious people may choose to use Lent as an opportunity to give up a bad habit or a particular food for a time, Christians see Lent as a period of grief and think about Jesus’ 40 days in the desert. They may give up luxuries or commit to praying more regularly than usual, and some even decide to spend this time helping charities or people in need in their community. This means that when Easter arrives, many Christians are excited to celebrate! Festivities can include playing games, eating tasty food, spending time with loved ones, participating in events like parades or Easter egg hunts, and sending Easter greetings.
