Easter or Resurrection Sunday is one of the most important Christian holidays. It is rooted in the Christian belief that Jesus Christ was crucified, and was even buried, but resurrected. The festival commemorates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD.
A week before Easter is considered as the Holy Week, which according to Western Christianity includes Palm Sunday (marking the entrance of Jesus in Jerusalem), Spy Wednesday (on which the betrayal of Jesus is mourned), Easter Triduum days including-- Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus.
