Easter Day

Easter Day comes 2 days after Good Friday.

Easter is a religious day and represents that day that Jesus rose from the dead.

The date of easter changes each year because it is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon (which is the first full moon after 21st March). This varies each year meaning that Easter Day can range from 22nd March to 25th April inclusively.

As Easter is on a Sunday when people are off anyway, we are given the Monday (Easter Monday) on the day after Easter day as a bank holiday.
