Best bets for the weekend

Easter Sunday falls on April 16 this year. The celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, Easter Sunday is among the most important Christian holidays. In the West, Christian churches celebrate Easter after the vernal equinox in March on the first Sunday that follows the full moon. In other words, Easter Sunday occurs yearly between March 22 and April 25.
