Endless oriental holiday in spring (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

easter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'holiday in spring' is the definition.
'Easter' can be an answer for 'spring' (Easter is part of springtime). I am not sure about the 'holiday in' bit.

'endless oriental' is the wordplay.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'oriental' becomes 'eastern' (similar in meaning).
'eastern' with its final letter removed is 'EASTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for easter that I've seen before include "Christian celebration for Teresa" , "Card, egg or Island" , "Time to celebrate" , "festival time" , "Christian celebration at the end of Lent" .)
