Easter is the second most important day of the Church year. The most important feast day is Pentecost. Had there been no Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, the Church would never have gotten off the ground. Pentecost is considered the birthday of the Church. So Easter and Pentecost are both important feast days in the Catholic Church.
