Your Finest Easter Holiday

Easter is highly honored and celebrated amongst the Christian community around the world. There are myths and facts to every holiday or event but for Easter, any origins except for the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, according to some, Easter originated from Eostre, a Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility while some claim Easter Week to have been descended from Hebdomada Alba (White Week).

As of now, Christians mark Easter to pay homage to Jesus Christ for the time he spent alone in misery and defeated the Satin. This was a 40 day period after which Jesus was crucified and later, resurrected by God. These 40 days are spent fasting. Easter is not a one-day celebration but rather a weeklong celebration, after the fasting ends. The Holy Week comprising Easter celebrations include; Maundy Thursday on which according to Christian belief, Jesus had his last supper with his followers, Good Friday when Jesus was crucified and the Holy Saturday which marks the period from crucifixion to resurrection. From fasting till the end of Holy Week, the 50 day long period is known as Eastertide and is dedicated to Jesus’ being lifted up to the heavens. Fat Tuesday is the last day of enjoying meals as after it, fasting starts.
