Key holiday

Easter in 2026 begins with Good Friday on April 3 and continues through Easter Monday on April 6, creating a long holiday weekend observed by millions of Christians around the world, including in Kenya.

Easter is one of the most significant celebrations in Christianity, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which, according to Christian belief, occurred three days after his crucifixion.

This event is central to the Christian faith, as it represents victory over sin and death, as well as the promise of eternal life for believers.

The Easter period is marked by several important days, beginning with Good Friday, which solemnly observes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for humanity.

This is followed by Holy Saturday, a day of reflection and waiting, leading up to Easter Sunday, when Christians joyfully celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. In many countries, including Kenya, Easter Monday is also observed as a public holiday, often used for family gatherings and communal festivities.

Over time, Easter celebrations have blended religious observances with cultural practices, such as the use of Easter eggs, which symbolise new life and rebirth.

Easter is celebrated by Christians of many denominations, including Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox believers, though specific customs and traditions may differ among communities.

The origins of the holiday trace back to early Christianity, based on the events recounted in the New Testament of the Bible. The date of Easter is determined according to the lunar calendar, which is why it varies each year, usually falling between late March and April.
