2. It was on Easter Sunday that Jesus rose from death. Jesus had told his disciples before he was arrested that he would be crucified and on the third day he would rise from the dead. Easter and Passover always fall close to each other but they are not always at exactly the same time.

3. The Cross Jesus, a Jew, was crucified during Passover time and it is said that the Last Supper was a Passover Seder (a ritual meal that commemorates the Biblical accounting of the Jews escape from Egyptian slavery). It is Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection that led to the start of Christianity.

5. Easter is a Christian festival. For Christians the custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life. Christians remember that Jesus, after dying on the cross, rose from the dead. They believe that, through his resurrection, Jesus defeated death and sin and offers people the promise of eternal life if they follow his teachings.

8. Easter is the most significant event in the Christian calendar as it is associated with spring and new birth. It commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ following His death by crucifixion on Good Friday. The festival is celebrated with great enjoyment, pomp and splendour. The religious occasion also marks the beginning of the autumn season as spring does not occur in April in Australia. Australia is a land of people belonging to different countries. Hence, different people have brought different traditions with them and thus, Easter celebrations take place in a variety of ways. It is celebrated as a public holiday with church services, rabbit and eggs as the major Easter attractions.
