The major Catholic holiday that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ is Easter. Celebrated on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25, Easter signifies hope and renewal for Christians worldwide. It typically involves religious services, joyous hymns, and often includes a celebration of Holy Week. Traditions vary, including the decoration of Easter eggs, which symbolize new life, and the Easter Bunny bringing candy and gifts. This holiday is pivotal in the Christian calendar and is preceded by Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and reflection.
