Spring feast of the Christian church, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus. It is a moveable feast, falling on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox (21 March); that is, between 22 March and 25 April.
The English name derives from Eostre, Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, who was honoured in April.
Green, red, and blue were the colours of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) flag which bore a yellow star at the hoist. Effective date: late 1995.
