If you are Catholic or Christian, Easter is a time to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I think that after Christmas, it is typically the most well-attended Sunday celebration of the year for churches. It’s also an opportunity to spend quality time with family members during the long weekend, have a get together for a delicious meal, eat lots of chocolate and take part in fun family activities.
