Easter Sunday is a significant Christian holiday in Canada, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament. Its date varies each year, falling on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox.
Religious Observance: Many Christians attend church services where they participate in mass or special services that often include Holy Communion. These services may be preceded by Lent, a period of fasting and repentance, and followed by Holy Week observances.
Easter Lily: The Easter lily is a symbol of resurrection and is commonly used to decorate homes and churches.
Eggs: Eggs have long been a symbol of new life and rebirth. Decorating eggs is a popular tradition; these can be real eggs dyed or painted or chocolate eggs wrapped in colorful foils.
Egg Hunts: Public and private egg hunts for children are common, where kids search for hidden eggs filled with candy or small toys.
Family Meals: Families often gather for a special meal on Easter Sunday. Traditional dishes might include ham, lamb, or other festive foods.
Chocolate and Candies: It's customary to give out chocolate bunnies, eggs, and other sweets as gifts, particularly to children.
In summary, Easter Sunday in Canada is marked by both religious ceremonies for Christians and secular festivities that revolve around family gatherings and cultural traditions like egg decoration and hunts.
