Most Christians celebrate Easter on a Sunday.
Easter celebrates the Resurrection, or the return to life, of Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity.
The Bible tells that on the morning two days after Jesus was put to death, His tomb was found empty. Soon, Jesus's followers began to see Him and talk with Him again.
Some Christians also celebrate by putting on plays that tell the Easter story. Parading through town wearing new clothes is now an Easter tradition, too.
