Easter





Jesus resurrected hence creating Easter.




Easter is the holiday where Jesus Christ has resurrected from the dead. It is predominately celebrated by Christians. It is the oldest celebrated Christian festival. It is usually between March 21st and April 25th . It is also on the first Sunday after the 1st full moon following the northern spring equinox. It is the Sunday after Good Friday.

Easter eggs for the easter egg hunt. The purpose of it is to hide the eggs with little prizes in them and clues to find more to win the bigger prize. Sometimes maps are given to where they are hidden. It's much more effective when done outside in an open outdoor area.


Goddess


Bunny- The fun symbol of Easter



The bunny symbol wasn't used up until the 19th century. It was a pagan festival that started it. It came from the Goddess Eastre. She is the goddess of spring and easter. Now using the bunny and the bunny's eggs, people create little activities such as easter egg hunt. This game is a really common game and kids love it. It is highly creative and artsy.
