What are the origins and customs of Easter?

According to legend, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after being crucified. In order to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus, people set up Easter, which is a religious festival.

During Easter, people will cook eggs and paint them red according to traditional customs, which represents the tears of swans and the happiness after the birth of the goddess of life. People get together to play games with eggs and roll around on the ground. Whoever breaks the egg last represents victory. As a reward, the winner can get all the eggs of the game participants.

Festival development:

In the early days, the church used it instead of the Jewish Passover. Some churches began to hold commemorative activities on the fourth day of the Jewish calendar/kloc-0; In 325, the Nicaean Conference stipulated that the first Sunday after the full moon at the vernal equinox was Easter.

1582 Western Europe changed to Gregorian calendar. Some churches in the East still follow julian calendar, so Easter is usually a week or two or even five weeks later than Catholicism and Protestantism. During the festival, people give Easter eggs to each other, symbolizing life and prosperity.

Because the vernal equinox is not fixed every year, the exact date of Easter is uncertain. But the festival period is roughly between March 22 and April 25.
