5 different ways Easter is celebrated all over the world
Do you know that Easter is not always celebrated with chocolate? Easter is marked very differently around the world.
NEW – Lifestyle
Unlike other holidays, the date on which Easter Sundays falls for changes from year to year and with it the dates of ashes on Wednesday, great and affiliated holidays such as Mardi Gra and Fat Tuesday.
Here is a look when each of these holidays is this year, what they are and how they are related.
When is Easter 2025?
This year Easter Sunday is observed on April 20.
Why do people celebrate Easter?
Easter is one of the principles, if not the most important holidays in the Christian religion, because it observes the day followers of faith believe that Jesus Christ is resurrected by the dead three days after the crucifixion and his death on Friday.
According to the Christian religion, the death of Jesus marks the forgiveness of the sins of humanity and the promise of beyond with Christ. The resurrection is believed to be a miracle and proof of Christ as a deity. That is why Christians usually carry the crucifixes as a symbol of their beliefs.
Why does the day Easter changes every year?
According to the almanac, Easter Sunday changes every year as it is fixed in a solar calendar and based on the lunar cycles of the Jewish calendar. It always happens on the first Sunday after Easter Full Moon (a full moon that occurs on or after March or spring equinox).
When is Ash Wednesday 2025?
Ash Wednesday is on March 5th this year. It is calculated to be held 40 days before Easter (without counting Sunday).
What is ash Wednesday?
The ashes on Wednesday is a day of repentance marked by ashes placed on the forehead of the worshiper in the form of a cross by a priest, pastor or minister during church services. Ashes is a symbol of repentance.
Not every Christian religion is watching ashes on Wednesday or loans. It is most linked to Catholicism, but some luterans, methodists, bishops, presbyters and few Baptists also watch ash on Wednesday and Lent. Mormons, evangelicals and Christians of Pentecost usually do not observe ashes on Wednesday or are not lending.
Ashes Wednesday is also the first day of Lent.

When is the Great Lent?
This year, Lent begins on Wednesday, March 5th and ends on Thursday, April 17th. This lasts six weeks before Easter.
What is great?
Fasting is the religious period of fasting and repentance for Christians. People who watch Lent do so to honor what the Bible said in order to be 40 days of Jesus in the desert before His baptism. They also watch the festive season in preparation for Easter.
During this time of repentance, charity and fasting, people give up luxury and things they enjoy, such as chocolate or coffee or smoking. It is also a common practice in the Catholic Church to refrain from eating meat on Friday during the season of Lent, although the eating of fish is allowed (which is why McDonald’s fillet was created).
Before the start of Lent, there is fat Tuesday or Mardi Gra.
When is Tuesday Fat – Mardi Grass 2025?
Fat Tuesday, also known as Mardi Grass, is on Tuesday, March 4th. (Mardi Gl means thick Tuesday in French).
It is a holiday day of silent condescension, reflecting the practice of the last night of consuming rich, fat foods before the long Christian season of Lent, which is marked with starvation and restraint.
Mardi Grass is also called Shrow Tuesday, coming from the practice of “food”, which means to be purified through confession before Lent, according to the Almanac.
It is also called a “carnival”, which refers to the period of feast, which begins on January 6 through Mardi Gra.
Mardi Grass celebrations in Renault

Mardi Grass’s costumes are encouraged. Time: The doors open at 5:30 pm Expenses: $ 40 per total admission, $ 30 for members and $ 25 for students.
When is Easter 2025?
The dates of the Jewish holiday of Easter are also based on a lunar calendar and a shift year to year, sometimes overlapping with Easter. This year, the Easter begins before sunset on Saturday, April 12, 2025, and ends after the night of April 20, 2025. Why does the holiday begin and ends around the night? This is because the date of the Jewish calendar begins at sunset at night in advance.
The eight -day Jewish holiday of Easter celebrates the emancipation of Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt, according to Chabad.org. In Hebrew, the holiday is a pessage, which means passing, “because G -d passed over the Jewish homes when it kills the Egyptian firstborn in the first Easter Eve.”
The holiday is marked by Seder dishes, which include retelling the history of exit, accompanied by four glasses of wine, bitter herbs and masters. Matz is an unleavened bread that is eaten throughout the holiday. Bread bread is out of the menu, and Matz is a representative of unleavened bread, which was the main one for the Israelites on their way outside Egypt.
