A Christian feast. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is observed on the first Sunday following the full moon occurring on or next after March 21. The word Easter originated from the word Saxon, in whose name scarifies were offered about the time of the Passover. Easter Day is currently determined as the first Sunday after the full moon on or just after March 21.

   The "full moon" in the rule is the full moon, which is defined as the fourteenth day of a tabular (plane surface) lunation (time between), where day 1 corresponds to the New Moon. It does not always occur on the same date as the astronomical full moon. The  "vernal equinox" (sun passes) is always on March 21. Therefore, Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25.

  As with almost all "Christian" holidays, Easter has been commercialized. The nature of Easter and its symbols, however, is not necessarily a modern fabrication. The ancient Saxons (German member) celebrated the return of spring with an uproarious festival. Their goddess of offspring and of springtime, Easter. When the second-century Christian missionaries encountered the tribes of the north with their celebrations, they attempted to convert them to Christianity. They did so, however, in a clandestine(secert)  manner.
