Description
Easter Sunday in Trinidad and Tobago is a major Christian holiday. People mark the day to remember the belief that Jesus rose from the dead. It is a time of hope and renewal for many people across the islands.
The date changes each year because it follows the Christian calendar. Easter Sunday falls on the Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. That means Easter can happen anytime between late March and late April.

The holiday is important nationally because it brings people together. Even beyond religious belief, Easter marks a moment for reflection, shared values, and a sense of renewal that resonates with many citizens.
