Easter - is a Christian festival celebrating the Bible story about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This Sunny April, the Crazy Creatives exclusively bring to you the Easter profile - everything you need to know about it!What's in thy Name : Easter/Resurrection Day/Pascha. Easter is derived from Eastre, a German Goddess of Spring. Her festival occurs at the vernal equinox. The French word for Easter comes from the Greek word Pacques, which is a Jewish festival.Day of Occurrence : Easter is a moveable feast. The day occurs on different dates (ranging from March 21 to April 25) due to differences in calculation by the Roman Catholic Church (Gregorian Calendar) and the Eastern Orthodox Church (Julian Calendar).The Ancient Anecdote : It is believed that on the Sunday after Good Friday (the day Jesus was crucified), His body was no longer in the tomb. Later, he preached to around 500 people. Infact, the New Testament is based on the principle of resurrection. Christians believe that God has given them "new hope by the awakening of Christ from the dead". Thus, Easter calls upon the involvement of spirituality.The Celebration Galore : After around 40 days of fasting during the period of Lent, one finally indulges in delicacies on Easter. The modern day celebrations have very less to do with the original meaning of Easter, which is a new beginning. These celebrations have more to do with the pagan festival of ancient Germany. Children are given boxes full of candies & decorated eggs are hidden in places for children to hunt. People dress in new clothes and visit the Church. An Easter Egg Roll is held in the lawns of White House. Shopping malls have Easter Rabbits roaming through the venue to entertain children and add on to the spirit of Easter.The Guide To An Easter Party :The Ambiance - An outdoor garden is just the perfect venue to celebrate the lively occasion. A 'Happy Easter' banner with a decorated porch provides a fresh welcome! An Easter tree adds to the charm of the atmosphere. Place it at the center of the lawn.The Dessert Table - A table dedicated to Easter sweets, specially cakes & cookies is a must to pamper your guests.
