Easter is on different Sunday each year, but it is always in March or April. Easter is not a national holiday. It is a religious holiday for Christians. For many people, Easter celebrates the beginning of spring.

The English word for Easter comes from the old English word Eastre. Eastre was the name of the goddess of spring and light. In the spring, flowers bloom and trees become green. The earth wears “new clothes”. Many people wear new clothes on Easter Sunday, too.

Eggs and rabits are new signs of spring and new life. American children believe in an imaginary rabit, the Easter Bunny. The night before Easter, the Easter Bunny visits many homes. He brings children baskets with eggs and candy. Some Easter eggs are hard-boiled eggs in different colors. Other eggs are chocolate. The Easter Bunny hides eggs in the house or outside in the yard.
