Easter 2025 Date: Easter Sunday is a joyous occasion, as it commemorates Jesus Christ’s resurrection after Christians observe the solemn day of Good Friday, which is the day he is said to have been crucified.
It falls soon after Good Friday; consequently, many people believe the Saturday before Easter to be holy and refer to it as Holy Saturday. It always falls on the first Sunday following the full moon.

It is referred to as a “movable feast” since there is no definite date. The date is determined according to the lunisolar calendar and changes each year. In 2025, it will be commemorated on April 20, Sunday.
Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, marks the start of Holy Week. It commemorates Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, where his disciples gave him palm branches in greeting. Days of various religious importance are honoured throughout the week preceding Easter.
Christians frequently fast and pray during Lent, a 40-day season that comes before Easter. They could give up a negative habit or something they value. It has to do with the idea that Jesus fasted in the desert for forty days following his resurrection and resisted Satan’s temptation. He is reported to have risen to heaven after it.
Jesus’ resurrection highlighted five essential things: his divine nature, his ability to forgive, his victory over death, the truthfulness of God’s message, and his triumph over evil. Christians revere Jesus Christ’s life and ultimate sacrifice, making it one of the most important religious holidays.
Families gather for Bible readings, egg decorating and hunting, and a spectacular feast featuring the Easter lamb. Jesus was referred to as the Lamb of God, and the Lamb Feast commemorates his sacrifice.
