When is Easter 2025? Why is the date different every year?
Easter 2025 will be on April 20, but you may have noticed that the date of Easter varies from year to year! For example, 2024 is March 31st and 2023 is April 9th. This is because the date of Easter is determined by the first Sunday after the full moon on the vernal equinox, which usually falls between March 22 and April 25. This particular date rule stems from the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, combining historical context and astronomical calculations.
The meaning of Easter eggs and bunnies
When it comes to Easter, many people immediately think of colorful eggs and cute jumping bunnies.
- Easter eggs symbolize "new life" and "rebirth" and represent the spirit of Jesus' resurrection.
- The rabbit symbolizes spring and vitality, because rabbits have strong reproductive capacity and convey the beautiful meaning of the continuation of life.
Easter Origin: A Symbol of Hope and Rebirth
For Christians, Easter is an important day commemorating the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after his crucifixion, symbolizing hope and rebirth. The significance of this day is to remind people to cherish the miracle of life and greet each day with a new attitude.
