Happy Easter! Today is a special day for billions of Christians worldwide—a time of renewal, celebration and traditions.
Easter, also called Pascha or Resurrection Sunday, commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament.
It's also a time for festive traditions, from sunrise services to Easter egg hunts and, of course, the beloved Easter Bunny!
In German folklore, an egg-laying hare called 'Osterhase' would visit children and leave behind decorated eggs as a symbol of good fortune and new beginnings.
Over time, this tradition evolved into the Easter baskets filled with chocolates, jellybeans and marshmallows that many families enjoy today in various countries.
