Easter Weekend 10-13th April 09

April 10, 2009toApril 13, 2009

Easter is celebrated to memorialize the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from his death three days after he was crucified and
tortured on Good Friday. It is a Christian holiday and falls in
springtime, marking the end of the Lent season. Easter is one of the
most important and holiest holidays in the Christian almanac. Chocolate
bunnies, magnificent marshmallow chicks, lilies and brilliantly colored
Easter eggs are closely associated with Easter. Most of the traditions
and customs associated with Easter have their origin in the pagan
traditions. Lent season is, in fact, forty-six-days long starting from
Ash Wednesday and ending with Easter. The six Sundays falling under this
period are not considered a part of Lent. Thus, though fasts are
observed in this season, Sundays are excluded from the fast period as
they are considered to be a commemoration of Easter Sunday.
