Easter Sunday in Croatia, as in many Christian countries, is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The exact date of Easter varies each year as it is determined by the lunar calendar, falling on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox.
Croatian Easter traditions are steeped in Christianity and influenced by local customs. Preparations start with Lent, a period of fasting and reflection. Holy Week leading up to Easter is marked with religious services, including Good Friday processions and Easter Vigil on Saturday night.
One of the most recognizable Croatian Easter traditions is painting eggs, known as "pisanice." These eggs are often decorated with intricate patterns using various techniques and are symbolic gifts exchanged among friends and family.
