The most important holiday in spring , especially for Christians （基督徒）,is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year , but it ' s always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.

But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter , many people go to church to celebrate Jesus ' resurrection （复活）from the dead.
