Answer:
Easter is the oldest and the most important Christian Festival, the celebration of the death and coming to life again of Jesus Christ. For Christians, the dawn of Easter Sunday with its message of new life is the high point of the Christian year. Easter is the story of Jesus' last days in Jerusalem before his death.The Easter story includes Maundy Thursday (the Last supper leading to the Eucharist), Good Friday (the day on which Jesus was crucified) and Easter Day (the day on which Jesus came back to life).

The long answer is really good. I'm just going to tell you what I personally do as a Catholic on Easter, and I'm representing myself and most of my Catholic friends. I go to Catholic school, have since kindergarten and I'm a junior now. All through Lent, we don't eat meat on Fridays or on Ash Wednesday. Good Friday is the "sad day". We go to mass and it's a really solemn service and everything. We usually go to Stations of the Cross a couple of times too. We go to Mass on Sunday morning and procede as usually with dinner, easter egg hunts, etc. If you are researching Lent as well then there's a heck of a lot more that you need to know. In that case, I'd look it up. Try the Catholic Encycolopedia website. :-) Ellen

The long answer has it pretty much wrapped up and with a bow. The fasting on the Friday of Holy Week is pretty rough, but it's all part of the history and celebration of our faith. My family specifically has something like this on Easter Sunday, we go to Mass in the morning and then usually have a great barbecue or party with the family and do all the normal things like egg hunts, food, and being with the family.
