Titled simply "Easter," this picture points to one of the oldest and most widely observed days on the Christian calendar. The date is set by a rule agreed at the Council of Nicaea in 325: Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. Christians mark the day as the resurrection of Jesus, and over the centuries it gathered customs such as sunrise services, new spring clothing, and decorated eggs, many with roots in older spring traditions. Pictures of the holiday often show these rituals, so the details of dress, setting, and gathering are worth a closer look.
