Easter, also called Pascha (Greek/Latin) or Resurrection Sunday, is a festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. In Christian faith, Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday and was buried. On Easter Sunday, He revived and returned to Heaven to be with the Almighty Father.

Informally, Easter is celebrated with imagery of the Easter Bunny, who is purported to leave decorated baskets of candy and chocolates for children. Easter eggs are painted and hidden throughout a location for children to find as a festive activity. Since Easter frequently occurs in either March or April, it also uses images and colors related to the season of spring.
