So, you're in charge of the plastic Easter egg hunt this year. Being in control of this sort of thing can be the most fun thing you'll do all year.

Easter is considered as being the most important religious feast of the Christian liturgical year, and it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which his followers believe occurred on the third day after his death by crucifixion some time in the period AD 27 to 33. As well, in the Roman Catholic Church, Easter is actually an eight-day feast called the Octave of Easter.

Let the kids have something fun in their plastic Easter egg! Another great idea is to put little toys or stickers in them, maybe a rubber ball, or a stick-on tattoo. One important factor in regards to Easter that should be known is the fact that Easter depends on Passover not only for much of its symbolic meaning but also for its actual position in the calendar.

Another fun way to have your hunt is to hide a special coin or raffle ticket in one or two eggs that entitles the winner to a special Easter basket or a gift card. In Western Christianity, Easter always falls on a Sunday from March 22 to April 25 inclusive. The following day, Easter Monday, is a legal holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian traditions. As well, Easter and the holidays that are related to it are considered as being moveable feasts, in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars.

Easter is a fun time for the kids mostly. It's a time of reflection, and food, picnics and games, families and church.
