Easter in the US: flowers for a visit and the Western date
United States · Nationwide
This occasion follows Western Christian Easter Sunday in the United States. For a visit we suggest tulips in a low vase or yellow daffodils in their own container. The date changes each year and does not combine every Christian community’s calendar.

Which Sunday this occasion saves
Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus in Christianity. This page uses the Gregorian ecclesiastical calculation. Some communities follow another calendar, so use the date of the gathering you are attending.
The subscription includes Easter Sundays from 2026 through 2046. An individual copy saves the date in your chosen year. The following Monday and Passover are not included as days of this occasion.
Flowers for a visit and a precaution about lilies
Tulips in a vase can accompany brunch without filling the whole table. If you choose daffodils, check their care before mixing them with other flowers. Add “Thank you for having us this Easter” to the card and arrange collection before your visit.
Avoid Lilium, including the Easter lily Lilium longiflorum, in homes with cats. Seek immediate veterinary help after possible exposure. Also check the complete bouquet in the flowers-and-pets guide.

Frequently asked questions
Does every US church celebrate Easter on the same Sunday?
No. This page follows Gregorian Western Easter. For a particular service, use the calendar of the community organizing it.
Are tulips and daffodils safe for cats?
Do not treat them as safe for cats. Being Easter flower alternatives does not remove their toxicity; review the flowers-and-pets guide before choosing a bouquet.
