How Easter is celebrated—and why eggs and bunnies are involved

Christians celebrate Easter in a variety of ways, including sunrise services favored by Protestants and the Easter Vigil, an ancient liturgy and baptismal rite celebrated by Catholics on the night of Holy Saturday. Members of the Orthodox church celebrate Easter, but 13 days later than other Christians since their religion is based on the Julian calendar.

Over the years, Easter has merged with pagan spring celebrations. Popular traditions include a visit from the Easter Bunny, a folk symbol of spring who bears eggs that symbolize new life. One theory holds that the tradition originated in Germany, but the jury is still out. In any case, Easter egg hunts, egg decorating, and candy consumption are a big part of the modern Easter holiday.
