Where the idea of Easter eggs and the Easter bunny actually comes from

Easter is almost here, with many of us planning to celebrate with friends, family and good food.

Easter is always on the first Sunday after the first full moon that follows the spring equinox, marking the beginning of spring. In the UK, there are two bank holidays, one on the Friday before and another on the Monday after the day itself.

The holiday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after he was killed.
