Quando é Easter em 2026?
Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament. It is the most important Christian holiday. The date varies each year — it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. Many Easter traditions have pre-Christian origins linked to spring festivals.
Traditions include Easter egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, attending sunrise services, and sharing special meals. Eggs symbolize new life and resurrection. Hot cross buns are eaten on Good Friday. Many Christians observe Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and reflection before Easter.
In Bermuda, people fly colorful homemade kites on Good Friday. In Norway, reading crime novels (påskekrim) during Easter is a beloved tradition. Greece celebrates with fireworks and lamb feasts. In Poland, Śmigus-Dyngus (Wet Monday) involves playful water fights.
