5. Easter, Passover, Mohamed's birthday.
For Christians, it's not just Easter--Ash Wednesday kicks off Lent, which runs for almost six weeks, at the end of which Palm Sunday, which is the beginning of Holy Week, which includes Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter.

So yeah, there's at least a couple of different ways that the word "season" works here.

7. Hey, didn't you get the memo?
It's not "Easter", it's "Resurrection Day".
