Easter has been celebrated, since at least, the fourth century and an annual 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 as well as resurrection of Jesus, this was celebrated during spring. Many gentile Christians didn’t want to believe Jewish traditions but gradually, following the fourth century, Easter became an accepted 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 date. They’re founded lying on the lunar calendar, created by the Council of Nicaea, in A.D. 325. The calculations of their dates are complicated but Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday next the first full moon following the Spring Equinox (March 21st). Easter can be from March 22nd to April twenty fifth. In Western Christianity, Easter marks the end of the forty days of Lent. During Lent, we fast and pray to prepare for Easter, start Ash Wednesday and ending 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. Through the 2nd century, Easter was initially a pagan event. The very old Saxons celebrated this holiday for their Divinity of Offspring and springtime, Easter. When the Christians observed many tribes were worshiping Easter, they attempted to change their faith to Christianity. The Christians slowly, but surely, spread their faith but allowed the tribes to celebrate pagan feasts, Easter occurred at the same time as Christ’s Resurrection. Over time, Easter was converted to a Christian celebration and named Easter. To have great times during Easter you can spend the Ofertas semana santa Barcelona
