Easter is a celebration that is observed by almost every sector of Christianity, and is a remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is one of the two most celebrated occasions in the Christian calendar - the other being Christmas.

A great number of people attend their church on "Good Friday" in remembrance of the Crucifixion, and again on "Easter Sunday" in celebration of his resurrection. Some Christians deny themselves of a favourite food for forty days before the Easter period.

For children especially, it is a time for "Easter Bunny" and Easter eggs, and "Hot Cross Buns".
