Easter only rivals Chrtistmas for childlike excitement, whatever your age. For while the tree is back in the cupboard and baubles have been carefully wrapped in tissue paper for an 11-month hibernation, it’s thoughts of delicious Easter eggs that keep us looking forward to the spring.
Easter usually takes place in April, although the date tends to move around in accordance with the lunar calendar. For the pub quizzers: it takes place on the first full moon on or after 21 March (the Spring Equinox). This year, Good Friday takes place on April 7, Easter Sunday on April 9 while Easter Monday will be marked after the weekend on April 10.
