Easter has been celebrated, since at least, the fourth century and an yearly celebration of the resurrection. Even when a number of churches didn’t accept some of the religious holidays, Easter has at all times been a special day for Christians.
Before the fourth century, Christians celebrated “Pasha or Pesach”, adapted from the Jews. Pesach was a celebration of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, this was celebrated in spring. Many gentile Christians didn’t want to believe Jewish traditions but gradually, after the fourth century, Easter became an established holiday. So for hollidays you can go to Semana santa Barcelona
Easter and holidays related to it (Passover) are movable feast. They do not fall on a certain time. They’re founded lying on the lunar calendar, created by the Council of Nicaea, in A.D. 325. The calculations of their dates are complex but Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday next the first full moon after the Spring Equinox (March 21st). Easter can be from March 22nd to April 25th. In Western Christianity, Easter marks the ending of the forty days of Lent. During Lent, we fast and pray to get ready for Easter, beginning Ash Wednesday and end on Easter Sunday. Easter has not fallen on March 22nd since 1818 and will not until 2285!
Easter as well has a non religious side. During the second century, Easter was originally a pagan festival. The ancient Saxons celebrated this holiday for their Goddess of Offspring and springtime, Easter. When the Christians observed many tribes were worshiping Easter, they attempted to change their faith to Christianity. The Christians bit by bit, but surely, spread their faith but permitted the tribes to celebrate pagan feasts, Easter occurred on the same occasion as Christ’s Resurrection. Over time, Easter was changed to a Religious celebration and named Easter. To have great times during Easter you can spend the Ofertas semana santa Barcelona
