Easter Sundayについて
Easter Sunday is the most important day in the Christian calendar, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, three days after his crucifixion on Good Friday. It marks the end of Holy Week and the beginning of the Easter season.
Easter's date is calculated using a formula based on the lunar calendar, falling on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox (March 21). This means Easter can occur anywhere between March 22 and April 25.
Beyond its religious significance, Easter has incorporated many older spring festival traditions, including the Easter bunny and decorated eggs, which symbolize new life and rebirth.

Easter Sundayはどのように祝われますか?
Easter Sunday is celebrated with special church services, often beginning at dawn with a sunrise service. Families gather for festive meals featuring lamb, ham, or other traditional dishes. Children participate in Easter egg hunts and receive chocolate eggs and Easter baskets.
Decorating Easter eggs is a widespread tradition across many cultures. In Eastern Europe, intricately decorated eggs called pysanky are works of art. The Easter bunny figure — delivering eggs and treats to children — is particularly prevalent in North America, the UK, and Australia.
