Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ - his return from death after the Crucifixion. The most important Christian festival.

before this, it was to celebrate the ressurection of the sun, the time of year, when the days are longer then the nights, for shadowning springs renewal. Its a pagan festival LOL It was celebrated by pretty much every pagan sect ( some days may differ and how it was practiced, but the celebration of the days becomming longer then the night, is shown again and again in all pagan traditions, and now in the monotheistic traditions, which took the beliefs of those pagan traditions it fought so hard to eliminate..
hows that for irony

I'd like to add this, Time:
24th June
"Today is the Feast of St John, the day of St John's fires, which were originally the Beltane fires of the midsummer festival of the Old Religion--a term which embraces any religious system prior to the Christian dogma. A sphere expanding from its centre was their symbol of spiritual evolution; hence the sun at noonday or the full moon were their symbol of worship."

Since the return of Christ is not reincarnational belief. Christ ascended to his Father in heaven, and likewise his return is from the Father to Earth. Jesus Christ rose from the grave and will return in the glorified body which he received.

The resurrection of Christ has nothing to do with the length of days, or the amount of sunlight, etc.
