This year there's a super rare coincidence — Qingming Festival 2026 and Easter actually fall on the same day! Both on April 5th (Sunday).

- Qingming Festival: April 5th (fixed in the 24 solar terms, tomb-sweeping, spring outing, honoring ancestors)
- Easter (mainstream Western Christian calculation): April 5th (commemorating Jesus' resurrection)
One is a day for ancestor worship and remembrance in the Chinese world, and the other is the most important religious holiday in the West. The probability of these two falling on the same day is actually very low, making it a celestial-level fun fact.
At that time:
- Qingming falls on a Sunday, so many people will go tomb-sweeping and enjoy spring outings
- Easter is also on a Sunday, with church activities, egg hunts, family gatherings
The Chinese and Western cultures "overlap" on this day, creating a pretty fascinating scene～
How will you celebrate this "Double Festival on the Same Day" this year?🤔
