For my blog post I decided to write about the Holiday of Easter. Plain and simple, Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the Crucifixion. At around the year 325 A.D, Constantine I held the Council of Nicaea, which determined the date that Easter would be celebrated on. They determined that Easter should be celebrated on the first sunday after the full moon of the vernal equinox. But at around 1928 the British parliament clamied that the celebration of Easter would be held on the first sunday after the second saturday of the month of April.
The reason why Easter is always shown with the symbol of a rabbit is because one of the Anglo-Saxon goddesses of fertility was always shown with her symbol as a rabbit.e "The History of Easter." History Channel. 3 Mar. 2009 http://www.history.com/content/easter/history-of-easter.
