Fun facts about Easter
- Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Christian religion.
- Coloring Easter eggs began in Ukraine.
- The first story of a rabbit (the “Easter Bunny”) hiding eggs in a garden was published in 1680.
- Easter is the second biggest candy holiday after Halloween.
Fun facts about Passover
- Passover is the oldest continuously celebrated Jewish holiday.
- During Passover, Jewish people eat matzos because it is in memory of their ancestors who escaped slavery in Egypt in such a hurry, that there was no time for their dough to rise.
- During the Seder dinner, the youngest child at the table generally asks four questions, the answers to which explain "why this night is different from all other nights."
Fun facts about Spring
- Spring begins on the vernal equinox.
- Spring days continue to get longer.
- Daylight Savings Times happens during the spring.
