Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox every year. It is a religious anniversary for Christians. The purpose is to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ between 30 and 33 AD. The day of resurrection, the third day after the cross, has the symbolic meaning of rebirth and hope. The specific time of Easter is based on: the first Sunday after the vernal equinox and the full moon. If the full moon happens to be a Sunday, Easter will be postponed by one week.
