As we embrace this Easter long weekend, it's a perfect time to celebrate optimism, rejuvenation, regeneration and the rich history and traditions surrounding this special time of year. Easter has its roots in both Christian and pagan customs, as it marks the resurrection of Christ and also dates back to ancient times. Easter has been observed through various rituals and ceremonies over the ages, including festive feasts, Easter eggs and the Easter Bunny. It's also a time for spiritual reflection, gratitude, and coming together to celebrate the joys of life.
In the northern hemisphere, Easter is a time for embracing the spring equinox, while Down Under, it's also a perfect time for relaxing, unwinding, and watching great films. Whether you're spending quality time with loved ones, indulging in much-needed self-care, or simply enjoying the extra time off, we've got you covered with Easter-themed films or bingeable series to keep you entertained.
