'''Day of Resurrection''' (Resurrection Day) is a [[feast of God]] that commemorates Jesus’ resurrection three days after His death on the [[cross]]. In the Bible, the date of Resurrection Day is the “day after the first [[Sabbath]] (Sunday) following the [[Feast of Unleavened Bread]].” However, most churches keep it on the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox, calling it Easter. In many countries in Europe, the day before and after Easter is a national holiday, and it is celebrated as one of the biggest holidays of the year. In the U.S., spring break is generally before and after Easter, and it is observed by a large majority of schools. Many companies are closed and enjoy a holiday around Easter.<ref>[https://www.officeholidays.com/countries/france/2022 List of Holidays in France in 2022].
