Show Easter Is Principal Christian Festival Easter is the chief festival of the Christian year, commemorating the Resurrection of Christ. As far back as the second century cen-tury a.d. Christians in Asia Minor observed Easter day on the 14th of Nisan, the seventh month of the Jewish calendar, while Christians in Europe observed the nearest Sunday. While early Christians were observing ob-serving Easter, usually about the same time of year the Romans were also celebrating the Vernal Equinox or the arrival of Spring. |
