"Easter" is structured in fourteen chapters, beginning with pre-Christian spring celebrations centered on the goddess Eostre, moving through the Jewish Passover roots of Easter, the theological debates of the early church (including the Quartodeciman Controversy and Council of Nicaea), and the syncretic adoption of pagan symbols (eggs, rabbits, flowers, light). Subsequent chapters examine regional traditions across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania; the legal recognition of Easter as a public holiday; the complex astronomy behind Easter's movable date; artistic representations in music, literature, and visual arts; modern secular commercialization; the sensory dimensions of the festival (sights, sounds, scents, tastes); the themes of family, community, and personal renewal; and finally, the future of Easter in the 21st century, including potential reforms.
