Christianity

Easter is one of the most important religious holidays celebrated by Christians worldwide. It is celebrated as the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and marks the end of the forty-day period of Lent. During Lent, Christians fast and abstain from certain luxuries and activities in order to prepare for the celebration of Easter. Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. On Easter Sunday, Christians attend church services and celebrate with special meals, Easter egg hunts, and other activities.

Judaism

Judaism does not celebrate Easter as it is a Christian holiday. However, the holiday of Passover, which is celebrated in the spring, shares many similarities with Easter. Passover commemorates the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt and is celebrated with special meals, prayers, and rituals. In addition, the holiday of Shavuot is celebrated 50 days after the first day of Passover and is also considered a spring holiday.

Islam

Islam does not celebrate Easter as it is a Christian holiday. However, Muslims celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan, which is a month-long period of fasting and prayer. During Eid al-Fitr, Muslims attend special services, give charity to the needy, and exchange gifts with family and friends. In addition, Muslims also celebrate Eid al-Adha, which is celebrated in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah and commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son for God.
