What do you do to celebrate Easter?

I go to church on Easter Sunday, at my church in Queens, NY.  Then, usually, I go to the Fifth Avenue Easter Parade in Manhattan, NYC.  Often I'm wearing an Easter bonnet I've made myself, and I hand out little tracts and treats.  Then I join my family for Easter dinner, which usually includes ham or lamb.  We might watch an appropriate Easter show on TV.\n\nOften I incorporate a little Passover in my Easter.  I might make up a kind of seder plate on Holy Thursday.  I've also attended a few Messianic Seders.  Last year I attended a model seder for middle-schoolers at a Reform synagogue; this year I've already attended a pre-Passover women's seder at the same synagogue.\n\nGood Friday, I used to go to a Catholic Church, sometimes St Patrick's Cathedral, in the afternoon.  Since my own church started having Good Friday services in the evening, I go there.

Nothing.  I celebrate the holiday Ostara, the one the Christians ripped off from the Wiccans to make into Easter.

easter is the day that jesus ressurected and people celebrate it to honor that.  its the day that lint is over and most (religious) people go to church.  the whole easter egg thing probably began because eggs symbolize life and whatnot and somewhere in the past it turned into a hunt for children to do.  and easter is always celebrated on the 3rd sunday of april.  the wednesday before is passover and the friday before is good friday.

That darn Easter. Can it never make up its mind? What is a silly wabbit to do? It is always on a Sunday, so like Thanksgiving it is on different days in different years.

I and my family do every Easter. We do it to suffer along with Jesus during lent. It brings us to understanding his sacrifice.

Mom dressing my sisters and me in fancy frilly dresses, lacy anklets, fancy little girl hats with matching lacy purses, and my brothers in little matching suits.\n\nWe'd walk two blocks to church...all eight of us...following Mom and Dad in our Easter Best.\nWe'd celebrate the Holy Day.\n\nAfterwards, when we would get home....we had our egg hunt.\nMom and Dad hid them everywhere.  \nInside and outside the house.  \nWhoever found the silver and gold egg got first pick of the easter baskets [even though they were all exactly the same!]\n\nWow!!  What lovely memories!!\nThanks Mom and Dad!!\n\n\nAnd... thanks Zoya for causing me to remember.\nHappy Easter.

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.

Easter comes from a Babylonian celebration of Ishtar the goddess of fertility in mesopotamia. That is also where the bunny and eggs come from the idea of fertility new life etc... This was related to the Resurrection of Jesus when Consantine made Christianity the state religion in Rome (ca 300ad) and pagan holidays began being adopted by the church. So I don't really celebrate Easter I celebrate the Resurrection of my Lord. No baskets eggs or bunnies in my home. Just Jesus and He is all we need.

Please find below details about Pesach (passover). You just say: 'Happy Easter' or 'Have a nice Easter'.\nHope this will answer your questions!\nTiff\n\nSHALOM & WELCOME\nto a celebration of the Jewish holiday of Pesach (Passover) \nPassover is the 8 day observance commemorating the freedom and exodus of the Israelites (Jewish slaves) from Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses II. \nA time of family gatherings and lavish meals called Seders, the story of Passover is retold through the reading of the Haggadah. With its special foods, songs, and customs, the Seder is the focal point of the Passover celebration. Passover begins on the 15th day of the Jewish month of Nissan. As the Jewish day begins at sundown the night before, for the year 2006, the first night of Passover will be April 12th.
