Mostly the same way becuase everyone who celebrates easter in celebrating a christian holiday.  The only difference could be is food.  But most people do about the same thing.  Boil eggs, color them, eat the, eat candy, get new clothes, dress up easter sunday, go to church, be with the family.

Ash Wednesday, the day Lent begins, is actually placed 40 days before Easter Sunday, not counting Sundays. The reason Sundays are not counted is Sunday is the day the church celebrates the resurrection of Christ.

Are you crazy?  Only 10% of Catholic even go to church each Sunday.  Are you asking why are they not preaching on street corners, or knocking on doors.  I accept there would be value to that.  \n\nThere are some small groups, Legion of Mary for example that visit homes and encourage prayer and practice.  St Vincent de Paul Society carry out welfare work in the name of the Church as well as praying together.  Orders of Nuns have set up Hospitals.  Many orders (nuns and brothers) set up schools.  Chaplains and lay-people are appointed to help Seaman at ports, the blind, defence forces personal, Scripture lesson at state schools- buy the thousands, the elderly, the deaf, the house bound, prisoners; there are priest scientists, church sponsored counsellors, marriage guidance, pregnancy help, I'll stop...  it surprises me just how many Church Ministries are carried out without making a big fuss.

No.  Easter is ALWAYS the first Sunday after the first full moon  after the first day of Spring.  That was probably decided eons ago by the Catholic Church.   There is rhyme and reason to holidays.\nMemorial day is the last Monday in May, Labor Day the first Monday in September.  Thanksgiving the 3rd Thursday in November.  Those are American dates and were decided by Congress.\n\nBut you get the picture on why the date may be different, right?\n\nI guarantee your birthday will be on Easter once again.  Here is a great website that goes up to the year 9999 for Easter dates.\n\nAnd yeah, below is right, I forgot my Catholic School lessons on the date and I had a brain fart.  Of course it is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of Spring.  \n\nMy daughter's birthday is April 16 and she is 22 and I believe Easter has fallen on her birthdate 3 times.\nEaster can be no earlier than March 22 and no later than April 25.  I went up to the year 2040 and Easter did not fall again on your birthday.  I can't give you an explanation for that.

Easter is celebrated on the first sunday after the first full moon following the spring equonix. Because the jews used a lunar calander, we use a lunar calender, too.

No, in fact most are Christian or Agnostics.  Many, like my last boyfriend, are very devout and never miss church.

Well for the readers, The Christians gathered on the first day of the week, to celebrate the ressurection. This is why most Christians go to Church on Sunday. \n\nHowever, Since Christians rest in Jesus, everyday is a Sabbath day!!!!

how are businesses going to be run, when the majority of workers are Christian?\n\nlet's say hypothetically I was an athiest... and the day was a religious holiday... almost everyone in my office including my boss is Christian... so, I would have no boss and in fact, my job requires more than one or two people, so I couldn't even work... \n\nbut, I guess I could come in and just play around all day on the clock? but who would even be there to know that I showed up?

Since like 99.9% of Italy is Roman Catholic they go to mass(church) Easter Morning. Plus they start on Palm Sunday which is actually a week before easter, or wait, I think it started Ash Wednesday they're supposed to fast for 40 days before Easter, but most just give up something they like to eat alot, like say veal or pasta or wine etc. Anyways on Easter Sunday there is a big meal served with red wine, and most gather with family and the women all wear black, as a sign of mourning for the death of Jesus. Not really a celebration though.
