Greek Orthodox Christians (which is what I assume you meant by "the Greeks") celebrated Easter on April 27th in the year 2008.
Orthodox Easter is the date when Eastern Orthodox Christians throughout the world celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This year, Orthodox Easter is on 27 April 2008, according to the Julian Calendar. The Western Christians (Catholics and Protestants) now use the Gregorian Calendar to calculate their Easter. Orthodox Easter is also known as 'Pascha' in Greek, and has continued to be celebrated in the same way by Orthodox Christians for over 2,000 years.

Easter is not celebrated in ISLAM. because Muslims don't believe in Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. They believe that Jesus was taken to Heaven without being crucified, and some other man, who looked like Him was crucified in place of Him. So, no crucifixion means no Easter.

Easter or Pascha is a celebration of Christ's death on the cross and His glorious Resurrection on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. The preparation for Easter begins with Great Lent, which is a 50-day period of prayer and fasting. During this time, church attendance and increasing our spiritual works, such as almsgiving, are very important. Then on Holy Pascha (Easter Sunday) people celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord with a feast, as was traditionally done in biblical times. In some countries, such as Greece, they usually celebrate with a lamb on the spit and by eating specially-dyed red eggs. The colour red represents the blood of Jesus and the egg represents new life breaking out of the shell (or tomb). Most Orthodox people around the world have real Easter eggs and use red dye to decorate their hard-boiled eggs. In recent years, some chocolate eggs have also become popular, especially for children. In Russia and Greece, the people usually prepare special Easter dishes to eat, and make Easter bread, such as "Tsoureki" bread in Greece.
It's the same reason that people celebrate Easter or Christmas: it is their tradition. If you are Chinese or are interested in Chinese culture/traditions, you may celebrate Chinese New Year. It is just like westerners celebrating our new year except the Chinese choose to use a different date.

Almost all holidays we celebrate today are Pagan based. Easter is based on the pagan holiday Eostre or Ostara. These holidays are pagan fertility holidays. The eggs and "Easter bunny" of the Christian Easter come from the pagan use of them as fertility symbols.
