EASTER TRIVIA

► The name Easter comes from Eostre, an ancient

Anglo-Saxon goddess.
► Easter falls between March 22nd and April 25th.
► Easter is now celebrated on the first Sunday after

the full moon which happens on or after March 21,

the Spring Equinox.
► Easter also refers to the fifty day season from Easter

Sunday through Pentecost.
► It recognizes the resurrection of Jesus on the third

day after his death by crucifixion.
► Easter is also a movable feast, meaning it does not

fall on a fixed day each year although Christians prefer

to celebrate it on the Sunday of the resurrection.
► Easter is a holiday that gives tons of business to the

candy industry.
► About 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies are produced each year.
► Peeps © are the most popular non-chocolate candy bought during the

Easter season.
► Easter eggs are painted with bright colors because they represent the

sunlight of spring. The act of painting eggs was originally called Pysanka.
► The most famous event of Easter egg rolling takes place on the White House lawn,

a tradition started during the Presidency of James Madison. The original site of the

Easter Egg Roll was on the lawns of the U.S. Capitol.
► The white lily, the symbol of the resurrection, is the special Easter flower.
