Easter, also called Pascha (Aramaic, Greek, Latin) or Resurrection Sunday, is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus Christ, preceded by Lent (or Great Lent), a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.
Easter-observing Christians commonly refer to the week before Easter as Holy Week, which in Western Christianity begins on Palm Sunday (marking the entrance of Jesus in Jerusalem), includes Spy Wednesday (on which the betrayal of Jesus is mourned), and contains the days of the Easter Triduum including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In Eastern Christianity, the same events are commemorated with the names of days all starting with "Holy" or "Holy and Great", and Easter itself might be called "Great and Holy Pascha". In both Western and Eastern Christianity, Eastertide, the Easter or Paschal Season, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks, ending with the coming of the 50th day, Pentecost Sunday, but in Eastern Christianity the leavetaking of the feast is on the 39th day, the day before the Feast of the Ascension.
Easter and its related holidays are moveable feasts, not falling on a fixed date; its date is computed based on a lunisolar calendar (solar year plus Moon phase) similar to the Hebrew calendar, generating a number of controversies. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established common Paschal observance by all Christians on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. Even if calculated on the basis of the Gregorian calendar, the date of that full moon sometimes differs from that of the astronomical first full moon after the March equinox.
The English term is derived from the Saxon spring festival Ēostre; Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by its name (Hebrew: פֶּסַח pesach, Aramaic: פָּסחָא pascha are the basis of the term Pascha), by its origin (according to the synoptic Gospels, both the crucifixion and the resurrection took place during the week of Passover) and by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In most European languages, both the Christian Easter and the Jewish Passover are called by the same name; and in the older English versions of the Bible, as well, the term Easter was used to translate Passover.
Easter traditions vary across the Christian world, and include sunrise services or late-night vigils, exclamations and exchanges of Paschal greetings, flowering the cross, the wearing of Easter bonnets by women, clipping the church, and the decoration and the communal breaking of Easter eggs (a symbol of the empty tomb). The Easter lily, a symbol of the resurrection in Western Christianity, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include Easter parades, communal dancing (Eastern Europe), the Easter Bunny and egg hunting. There are also traditional Easter foods that vary by region and culture.

A hatchery is a facility where eggs are hatched under artificial conditions, especially those of fish, poultry or even turtles. It may be used for ex situ conservation purposes, i.e. to breed rare or endangered species under controlled conditions; alternatively, it may be for economic reasons (i.e. to enhance food supplies or fishery resources).
S, or s, is the nineteenth letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ess (pronounced ), plural esses.

All babies arrived alive and well… but, my only complaint.. the hatchery put my contact info on the side of the box and not the top and the post office claimed they couldn’t find my contact info anywhere on the box (I found it no problem on the side of the outside) so they put the chicks of for delivery and they had been on a cold truck for over 3 hours before I was able to chase my mailman down. I watch your tracking number closely..

Oh my goodness!!! This was our very first time ever purchasing any farm animals ever let alone chicks. We are absolute novices lol. We researched so much what we thought would be the best chickens to start with. And honestly as a born and raised city girl, I never ever knew that you could order chicks to be delivered. And they came in a box!!! Well, all of that said I must say that we have been beyond pleased and blessed and grateful. First of all Tractor Supply has been so amazing and answered so many of our questions and concerns. We couldn’t have done it without them. They helped us get everything that we needed by holding our hands and educating us on all the items needed to start and literally walked us through the store showing us what we needed. We were also made aware that some of the chicks may not survive, which was really hard for us because we were animal people. With all that said, all of our chicks came, and they were all doing very well. They all survived and now it’s two weeks later and they’re doing great and they have been doing great since the day they arrived. We are so happy with our choices and so thankful to have done this little adventure. It’s been so much fun. They’re still in our house and they are in their little chicken brood. But hopefully we will be as prepared and successful to move them out to their permanent chicken coop once they are old enough. We are hoping that we will have just as much joy and as much luck with them then. We would totally do it all over again, and we are thankful that our first experience has been so great. Thank you Tractor Supply and thank you to Hoover Hatchery.
