Very Brief History of Easter
Easter is a moveable feast and does not have a fixed date on the calendar.
In the Gregorian calendar used in the United States, Easter falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April, determined by the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox.
Common traditions include parades, Easter baskets, the Easter bunny, and family feasts.
We love both classic and modern Easter recipes and enjoy sharing crowd-pleasing ideas for the holiday table. Whether you want a traditional ham and sides, a fresh spring dessert, or a fun treat to make with kids, you’ll find plenty of options here.
