The Easter Holiday season begins on Ash Wednesday which falls on 3/9/11. Easter is the holiest of Christian holidays. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. This year Easter Sunday is 4/24/11.

As has happened with other holidays, businesses have lessened the religious impact of this holiday and commercialized it beyond belief. The Easter Bunny has surpassed Jesus in the reason to celebrate the season. Easter baskets loaded with candy and toys start to fill store shelves before Valentine's Day has passed.

CruiseReady says:

Yes.

NaturalMindset says:

Jesus is the reason for the Season.

BarbRad says:

Yes. It's the only way we celebrate it now that the kids are gone. We did used to decorate the eggs and hide candy in the morning, but I don't think we credited the Easter Bunny. When I was a child it paid to beleive in the Easter Bunny, so I did. I am not sure at what age I because aware of the real meaning of Easter, but since I was raised in a church it must have been fairly early.

sandyspider says:

That's what it is all about isn't it.

Joan4 says:

Yes, Easter is a religious holiday for us, but we love all the bunnies and chicks and eggs, too. And Easter is a wonderful time for new beginnings, resetting and reviewing goals, too!

Norma_Budden says:

I manage to get Good Friday off but have to work on Easter Sunday. However, the cross is rarely far from my mind any day but it lingers a little closer at Easter, for sure.

OhMe says:

Defintely we celebrate as a very important Religious Holiday but also enjoy the Easter Bunny, candy and toys.

No! Give me the Easter Bunny, candy, and toys!

Della says:

Easter is my Pagan celebration of Spring renewal.

nightcats says:

No, I celebrate it a a cultural holiday and to celebrate the coming of spring.

WindyWinters says:

No, I'm Spiritual and not Religious. We always have an Easter dinner with our family.
