What is Easter <\/em>all about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Easter <\/strong>is a Christian holiday that celebrates the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This holiday concludes what we call the Passion of Jesus<\/strong>, a series of events and holidays that begins with Lent<\/strong> and ends with the Holy Week<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lent<\/em> begins on Ash Wednesday, <\/strong>usually in February or early March. <\/strong>The date changes ever year because it is adjusted with a lunar calendar. Lent<\/em> lasts for 40 days, and it includes fasting <\/strong>(not eating food throughout the day), prayer, and sacrifice. During this period, Christians also limit certain food and do not participate in festivities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Week <\/em>is the week before Easter. It <\/em>includes Holy Thursday<\/strong>, which is the celebration of Jesus\u2019 Last Supper with his twelve apostles, Good Friday<\/strong>, which marks Jesus’ crucifixion, and Easter Sunday<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n
