Why do we celebrate Easter and why does the date change every year?

Yes there's chocolate and the Easter bunny for kids to get excited about - but this is the real reason why we celebrate Easter today.

Many people consider Easter their favourite festivity, thanks to the all deliciousness the holiday entails. From Easter eggs for kids, to a slap up Easter lamb dinner and hot cross buns for breakfast - it's certainly a celebration for our tastebuds. But it's important to remember that Easter food isn't the main reason we commemorate the spring holiday.
