Easter is the celebration of Jesus' death and resurrection.
Easter is the center of the entire Church year, everything else depends upon the date of Easter, and everything in Christianity depends upon the fact that Easter actually happened.
the Sunday that is the center of the entire church is Easter Sunday.
The two major feasts in the church year are Christmas and Easter. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, and Easter commemorates his resurrection from the dead. These feasts are significant events in Christianity and are widely celebrated by Christians around the world.
It shows the different times of the year in the church, such as Advent, Lent, Easter etc. The church year runs from the beginning of Advent, not from the 1st of January.

Easter goes back over a thousand years. It was celebrated by the pagan tribes as the rebirth of the world and the Catholic Church took the pagan ritual and turned into a religious rite for the church.

People will go to church on Easter Sunday, as it is the most important day of the entire Christian year. People may also go away for Easter weekend. They may do other activities that have been organised for Easter. They may go to visit friends and relations.
Easter Day (in the Western Church) was 19th April 1987
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.
