Unlike fixed holidays, Easter is what we call a &#8220;moveable feast.&#8221; It&#8217;s always the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox (around March 21st).

For example:<br \/>\n&#8211; In the U.S., most schools get about a week off around Easter<br \/>\n&#8211; UK schools often get two full weeks (called &#8220;Easter term break&#8221;)<br \/>\n&#8211; Australia combines Easter with their autumn school holidays<br \/>\n&#8211; Many European countries give employees four days (Friday-Monday)<\/p>\n<p>Pro tip: If you&#8217;re planning Easter travels, always double-check local school and business calendars! <\/p>\n<h2> Making the Most of Your Easter Countdown <\/h2>\n<p> Don&#8217;t just wait for Easter &#8211; enjoy the lead-up!
