Easter is a Christian festival where the crucifixion and resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ is celebrated.
The date when Easter falls changes each year - the reason for this is explained here The Christian symbol for Easter is a cross that represents the cross on which Jesus died. Palm leaves also symbolise Palm Sunday - the Sunday before Easter when Jesus was welcome into Jerusalem by crowds waving palm branches
Easter is also a time for celebrating new life. Baby chicks and eggs have been used to symbolise new life for many many years. The chick hatching from an egg is a perfect visual symbol of birth.
Another commonly used symbol of Easter is the Easter bunny. Rabbits reproduce at a fairly rapid rate and so are an ideal symbol for new life.
The daffodil is a flower often associated with Easter as it is usually in bloom during the Easter period.
Other Easter symbols are new born lambs, Easter bonnets, hot cross buns and butterflies
