Is there mail on Easter Sunday?
EASTER Sunday, which falls on April 4 in 2021, is the celebration of the concept of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The popular religious holiday comes two days after Good Friday.
According to : "The holiday concludes the 'Passion of Christ,' a series of events and holidays that begins with Lent - a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and sacrifice - and ends with Holy Week, which includes Holy Thursday (the celebration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his 12 Apostles, also known as 'Maundy Thursday'), Good Friday (on which Jesus’ crucifixion is observed) and Easter Sunday."
Easter falls on a Sunday between April 4 and May 8 each year, according to Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
"According to the New Testament, Jesus was arrested by the Roman authorities, essentially because he claimed to be the 'Son of God,' although historians question this motive, with some saying that the Romans may have viewed him as a threat to the empire," according to History.com.
Jesus would be sentenced to death by crucifixion.
There are quite a few non-religious traditions associated with Easter, and many of them include Easter eggs and the Easter Bunny.
The exact origins of the Easter Bunny tradition are unknown, although some historians believe it arrived in America with German immigrants in the 1700s," according to History.com.
"Rabbits are, in many cultures, known as enthusiastic procreators, so the arrival of baby bunnies in springtime meadows became associated with birth and renewal."
