About Easter
Easter falls on a different Sunday each year, tied to the moon rather than a fixed date, which is why it can arrive in March or well into April. The forty days of Lent lead up to it, and many congregations gather outdoors for sunrise services. Around the holiday grew customs the clues here touch on: dyed eggs hidden for a hunt, white lilies and tulips on the table, baskets of chocolate, and the pastel colors of spring.
Reach for this in the weeks before Easter, when a class or a family gathering needs a quiet activity between the egg dyeing and the meal.
