Easter, a major Christian holiday honoring the resurrection of Jesus Christ, will be observed on Sunday, April 5. According to the History Channel, this day follows a 40-day period known as Lent, and its date changes annually because it is considered one of the many “moveable feasts” in the liturgical calendar. This year, certain restaurant and grocery chains will be closed on Easter, and the same will be true for some retail chains.
