Easter is a holiday that is celebrated by Christians around the world to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the religious aspects of the holiday are an important part of the celebration for many people, there are also cultural and historical aspects of Easter that can be discussed in an educational setting without delving into religious significance.
One way to approach the topic of Easter in a classroom setting is to focus on the history and origins of the holiday. For example, you could discuss the origins of the word "Easter" and its connection to ancient festivals celebrating the arrival of spring, as well as the Easter Bunny, Easter eggs, and other symbols and traditions associated with the holiday.
Another way to teach about Easter is to focus on the season of Spring and its significant among cultures, since Easter is a Spring festival. You could teach about the ways that different cultures and societies have celebrated the arrival of spring throughout history, such as with Easter eggs, Easter parades and Easter hams in the US, or Simnel cakes and Easter Lanterns in the Philippines.
