Easter Sunday in Taiwan is not a public holiday, as the majority of the population practices Buddhism, Taoism, or other Eastern religions. Christianity, however, has a presence on the island with a small percentage of the population identifying as Christian (including Catholic and Protestant denominations).
Christian missionaries introduced Easter to Taiwan. The history of Christianity in Taiwan goes back to the 17th century with the arrival of Spanish and Dutch settlers. However, it wasn't until more recent times that Christian holidays like Easter began to be observed by a segment of Taiwanese society.
On Easter Sunday, Christians in Taiwan participate in various religious activities:
Church Services: Christian congregations attend special Easter services which often include Holy Communion and may feature unique liturgies that celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Baptisms: Some churches conduct baptisms on Easter Sunday as it symbolizes new life and rebirth.
Easter Egg Decorations: Influenced by Western traditions, some Christians might engage in decorating Easter eggs. These are often used for educational purposes in Sunday schools or given as gifts to symbolize new life.
Community Events: Churches or Christian groups might organize events such as Easter egg hunts for children or charity events to embody the spirit of giving.
While these activities are typical within the Christian community during Easter time, they are not widely practiced across Taiwan. The day mostly passes without much fanfare outside these communities due to the dominance of other religious beliefs on the island.
