The colloquial view is bunnies, colored eggs, baskets, new "Sunday" outfits and of course, shiny new shoes. Patent leather if you are a girl.
Just as Passover (Pesach) is a tradition with deep meaning for observant Jews, Easter (Pascha in Greek) is significant to Christians.
Both Passover and Easter are 8 day celebrations excluding Lent which starts 40 days before Easter.
This year Passover and Easter holidays overlap for the first time since 2012.
Perhaps it is more than just a coincidence.
