On Easter Monday in 1916, the Easter rising began. Easter Monday was on the 24th of April in 1916. The rising lasted until the 30th of April 1916.
The Easter Rising is so-called because it started on Easter Monday, the 24th of April 1916. It continued throughout Easter week until Saturday the 29th of April. It really has nothing to do with Easter itself, so at a stretch you could only say something like a link between Resurrection and Rising.

Easter rising. or Easter uprising.
On Easter Monday in 1916, the Easter rising began. Easter Monday was on the 24th of April in 1916. The rising lasted until the 30th of April 1916.
During the Easter Rising in 1916, approximately 500 men were killed in the fighting, with the General Post Office (GPO) in Dublin serving as one of the main strongholds for the rebels. Among the casualties, around 260 were civilians, while the number of rebel fighters and British soldiers killed totaled around 200. The GPO was a central location in the uprising, which aimed for Irish independence from British rule.
The tone in "Easter 1916" by William Butler Yeats is complex and ambivalent. It shifts between admiration for the rebels' courage and sacrifice, and a sense of despair and futility about the violence and loss caused by the Easter Rising in Ireland. Yeats reflects on the impact of the rebellion on both the individuals involved and the broader historical context.
