What is Easter?

"What is Easter?" is a question that has been asked for centuries. It is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. But what does that mean? And why is it so important?
Let's start with the basics. Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This event is considered to be the central event of the Christian faith, and it is what Christians believe gives them hope for eternal life.
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. This means that the date of Easter changes every year, but it always falls between March 22 and April 25.
The Easter story is found in the Bible, in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It tells the story of how Jesus was arrested, tried, and crucified by the Romans. After his death, Jesus was buried in a tomb. But on the third day, he rose from the dead and appeared to his followers.
The resurrection of Jesus is a powerful symbol of hope. It shows us that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a new beginning. It is a reminder that we are not alone, and that God is with us through every step of our journey.
Easter is a time to celebrate the new life that is available to us through Jesus Christ. It is a time to reflect on the sacrifices that Jesus made for us, and to recommit ourselves to following him. It is also a time to celebrate with our loved ones and to share the joy of Easter with the world.
