"the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring"

In Western Christianity, Easter always falls on a Sunday from March 22 to April 25 inclusive. The following day, Easter Monday, is a legal holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian traditions. In Eastern Christianity, Easter falls between April 4 and May 8 between 1900 and 2100 based on the Gregorian date.

From Wikipedia.

Jesus "Christ" is known as the founder of "Christianity". Christmas is a Christian holiday that commemorates the birth of Jesus. At Easter, Christians celebrate their belief that Jesus came back to life after his death (called "resurrection").
Christians believe that Easter is a more important holiday than Christmas. The resurrection is a bigger miracle than immaculate conception (imagine that)

Well, of course they aren't advertising Easter...lol

They're advertising their products for you to buy in the "spirit" of Easter (the buying spirit that is...)
