About Easter
Easter Sunday marks the day Christians believe Jesus rose from the dead, three days after he was crucified on Good Friday. It closes Lent, the 40 days of fasting from Ash Wednesday, and the week before it is Holy Week. Many churches hold a sunrise service outdoors.
Good Friday is a public holiday in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Easter Monday is a bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and in Australia and New Zealand, but not in Scotland. In the US neither is a federal holiday. Costco and some other stores close on Easter Sunday. Kids hunt for eggs, and the White House has held an Easter Egg Roll on its lawn since 1878.

How this is calculated
Each midnight takes one off the number. Today is left out and the day itself is counted, so tomorrow shows as 1 day away. Clock changes for daylight saving make no difference.
In Excel or Google Sheets, type =DATE(2027,3,28)-TODAY() into a cell to get the same count; add 1 to include today.
Counted from Friday, October 16, 2026 (US Eastern time). When you open the page, it counts again from the date on your device, so it matches your own day.
