Easter is the most important Christian holiday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. The date shifts each year, so Easter 2026 falls on a different Sunday than Easter 2025. Discover the full Holy Week calendar — Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday, Ascension Day, and Pentecost — and how Christians across Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions observe the season.
