Some markets are closed today and next Monday, representing the Easter holiday in many countries. For those who are obsessed with work, their focus has turned to the US Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation indicator, the core personal consumption expenditures price index (PCE) and comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell due today.
Easter Sunday is the culmination of the Easter celebration and is considered the most important day in the Christian calendar. It commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. Christians attend church services on Easter Sunday to celebrate this event.
The Easter Bunny is a folklore figure who brings Easter eggs and treats to children. The origins of the Easter Bunny can be traced back to German immigrants who settled in the US, where the tradition evolved and became popularized.
Easter eggs are also literal eggs, often hard-boiled, that are decorated or dyed during the Easter season. This tradition predates Christianity and has been associated with springtime fertility rituals in various cultures.
In modern times, Easter eggs are also commonly associated with chocolate eggs. These are often given as gifts or used in Easter egg hunts, where children search for hidden chocolate eggs.
Whether you personally celebrate Easter or simply live in a market where Easter is a major holiday, may your day be filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments together.
