According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Some Christians celebrate this on Easter Day or Easter Sunday, two days after Good Friday. Easter is also linked to Jewish Passover, by much of its symbolism.=====

“Easter is a big holiday for my family. The school gives breaks for other holidays but not this one,” said Duguay. “I don’t live around Bangor so it’s difficult to arrange transportation if I wanted to go home for a short time to see my family.”=====

“It’s a lot of gas money and a waste of time to go all that way and come back just for a weekend,” said Erik Rogers, the Residential Director of Carlisle Hall at Husson University. “Plus, every time school breaks for a holiday, we have to go through the process of collecting dorm keys, closing the building, etc. Summer is just around the corner and it makes more sense this way.” =====

Students can carpool or take a bus to travel home for the Easter weekend and if not, Husson University’s Campus Crusades For Christ offers a service at the chapel and promotes churches to attend around the Bangor area.=====
