Easter

Easter is a Spring holiday originally celebrating the West Germanic spring goddess Ēostre. Its date is determined by the ancient lunar calendar, so it is observed in either March or April, depending on the full moon. People celebrate Easter by worshipping the resurrection of Jesus Christ, holding Easter egg hunts, receiving baskets of Easter eggs and candy from the Easter Bunny, and having dinners consisting of ham, lamb, and side dishes.
Hanna-Barbera produced a few cartoons about the holiday.
* Yakky Doodle: In "Easter Duck," a woman buys Yakky as an Easter present for her granddaughter, unaware that her cat is planning its own Easter dinner by setting its sights on Yakky.
* Lost in Space: The narrator says that Linc Robinson is on his Easter vacation, even though the holiday is not celebrated in the film.
* SuperFriends: In "The Shamon U", Robin exclaims "Holy Easter Bunnies!" when he sees a rabbit being enlarged by the Shamonite.
* The Smurfs Springtime Special: Papa Smurf mentions Easter as the Smurfs prepare for their Spring Festival.
* The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible: In "The Easter Story", the disciple Mark tells Derek, Margo, and Moki about Jesus's crucifixion on Good Friday, and His resurrection on Easter Sunday.
* Yogi the Easter Bear: Yogi Bear and Boo Boo rescue the Easter Bunny and Millicent the hen in time to save Easter for Jellystone Park.
