Good Friday
-
All Day Event
- Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday and it is a federal statutory holiday across Canada.
It's a complicated but precise formula that determines the day Easter Sunday is celebrated: It is the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring (after March 21st) which can occur as early March 22 and as late as April 25.
Good Friday marks the death of Jesus Christ according to the Christian religion. It is a fundamental part of Christianity along with the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday.
Many agree that this is a more important holiday than Christmas since it is the ultimate proof that Jesus is the son of God because he came back from death.

Easter Monday
-
All Day Event
- Easter is a highly commercialized holiday when tons of chocolate is sold in the form of easter eggs and easter bunnies.
The Easter Bunny brings a basket full of goodies to children for Easter.
Sometimes the gifts are hidden so children have to look for them - this is called an egghunt.
Rabbits and eggs are symbols of fertility and were first mentioned in German literature as early as the 1600s.
There are several easter traditions.
Egg painting is very popular and easy to do. Egg paint kits can be purchased in stores but you can also dye hard boiled eggs using a jar of beet juice!
To give eggs extra shine you can rub them with fat - bacon is perfect for this.
You laugh now but once you try it you'll see how well this works!
Petting zoos are popular around Easter, too, where kids get a chance to pet and feed bunnies and other animals.
Some people even buy pet bunnies but you should only do this if you are ready to truly commit to having a pet - no impulse shopping please.
Family get-togethers are also part of the Easter weekend.
After Christmas and Thanksgiving the Easter weekend meal is the third largest meal nationwide.
