Easter in 2025 is more than a long weekend or colorful eggs. It’s a sacred holiday celebrated by millions across the globe, blending spiritual depth with cultural beauty. Whether you’re preparing for a faith-filled Holy Week or just curious about Easter traditions worldwide, this guide covers everything you need to know.


When Is Easter in 2025?

Easter Sunday falls on April 20, 2025.

Why does the date change each year? Easter is a movable feast. It doesn’t have a fixed date like Christmas. Instead, it’s celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon following the Spring Equinox. This dating method ties back to early Christian and Jewish calendars.

Key Dates for Easter Week 2025:

  • Palm Sunday: April 13, 2025
  • Maundy Thursday: April 17, 2025
  • Good Friday: April 18, 2025
  • Holy Saturday: April 19, 2025
  • Easter Sunday: April 20, 2025
  • Easter Monday: April 21, 2025

Learn more about Easter’s date from Britannica.


The Origin and Meaning of Easter

At its heart, Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as told in the New Testament. It’s the most important event in the Christian faith, symbolizing hope, renewal, and victory over death.

The name “Easter” is believed to have pre-Christian roots, possibly linked to the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre, associated with spring and fertility.
