The word Easter comes from pagan roots.

In Christianity it first appears very early, probably originally as a continuation of the Jewish Passover celebrations.

Christians believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Easter, three days after dying for all of the world's sin. Easter is the fulfillment of all the promises Jesus said, therefore Easter is one of the biggest Christian holidays. Since then it has been changed into a more secular holiday with the Easter Bunny, plastic eggs, etc.

The word Easter, the tradition of bunnies and eggs all come from an old Pagan holiday. The main focus in the Christian tradition, or what is supposed to the the main focus, is theResurrectionof Christ. the Resurrection was triumph over death, showing that even when our bodies die we will still be alive with Christ in heaven. The reason that Easter is always on a Sunday is because it is commonly believed that Jesus wascrucified on Friday and rose again on Sunday.Whetheror not this is historically accurate I don't know.

The story of Easter started on Good Friday when Jesus died. On Easter day he was brought back to life by god. He died again 2 days later.
