Easter 2016

3/22/2016

For College students, this time of the year is the last hurrah before finals begin, and crunch time comes down on us. This is Easter, where we usually get a break and can go home, eat ham and attend church before having to come back to campus and cram for finals, projects, and papers. For most of us, it is the last break before the end of the semester, but Easter is so much more than that.


Easter is the annual festival celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and is the principal feast of the Christian year. And the week before this Sunday holiday is also special; known as Holy Week, these religious days start on Palm Sunday, include Good Friday (day of the crucifixion), and ends with Holy Saturday, and the Octave of Easter (extends from Easter Sunday through the following Sunday).

So whether or not you go to church, lay at home, or host an Easter egg hunt for younger kids—or kids at heart—Easter is a great holiday for everyone to celebrate.
