The Easter is a holiday that honors the day that Jesus got resurrected. The holyday takes place on Sunday between 22 of March and 25 of April. Before the Easter starts there is a time period of forty days that is called the Lent.

In different countries the Easter tends to be more or less spiritual. For example in Russia they bake cakes called Pas-ha and bless them in church, religious people believe that a blessed Pas-ha has healing abilities or will bring good luck.
