This page is about how Christians celebrate faith.

Easter
Easter is a time around April when most people (especially Christians) celebrate. Most people celebrate this by giving chocolate in the shape of eggs or bunny shaped chocolate. However, the true story behind Easter is not thought to be linked with chocolate eggs and Easter bunnys. The story is when Jesus was executed on the cross on Good Friday and was "buried" in a cave, trapped by a big boulder enclosing it. A few days, a lady went to find his body in the cave yet he was not there, and alive. His followers believe that God resurrected Jesus.

Christmas
Christmas was named after Jesus Christ (hence, Christ in Christmas). At Christmas time most people (especially Christians) give and receive presents and gather with family/friends and enjoy a nice meal (generally a traditional roast dinner), on the 25th of December. We celebrate Christmas because it is the birthdate of Jesus Christ. The word Christmas is split into two words; Christ, and mas. Christ represents Jesus and mas means the holy mass (meal).
