Get ready for Easter Sunday 2024 with a mix of celebrations, store closures, and royal appearances at Windsor Castle. Find out what's happening in New York City, Chicago, and PEI, plus the clash between Trump and Biden over Easter dates.

Easter Sunday is a time of reflection and celebration, with Canon Robin Gibbons sharing wisdom on the world's current messy state. In New York City, Easter weekend is in full swing with eight Easter Sunday mass services, including the iconic Easter Parade. Meanwhile, businesses around the country are preparing for Easter Day closures, leaving some scrambling for last-minute essentials.

As families gear up for Easter Sunday, stores in Chicago and other areas will have altered hours or be closed for the holiday. However, there are still options for boredom busters, from attending Easter services to enjoying outdoor activities like skiing in the Black Hills. For those in need of groceries, several stores will remain open on Easter Sunday for any last-minute shopping needs.

In various regions, businesses are making adjustments for Easter Monday, with some previously closed services now open for business. Grocery stores are especially crucial, with 27 locations confirmed to be open on Easter Sunday in 2024. Among the open stores are Walmart and Target, ensuring that shoppers can still find the perfect basket stuffers.

In the midst of Easter preparations, political tensions arise as President Biden's declaration of March 31 as Easter Sunday is criticized by the Trump camp and religious conservatives. However, amidst the controversy, royal figures like King Charles are set to make public appearances at Easter services, adding a touch of tradition and regality to the celebrations.
