Why Do We Celebrate Easter?
We celebrate Easter to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Easter is considered the most important and oldest festival in Christianity. It holds great significance as it represents the central event of the Christian faith—the victory of Jesus over sin and death.
According to the Bible, Jesus was crucified on Good Friday and his body was placed in a tomb. On the third day, which is Easter Sunday, Jesus rose from the dead, demonstrating his power over death and validating his claims to be the Son of God.
Easter is a time for Christians to celebrate the hope and joy that comes from Jesus' resurrection. It symbolizes new life, forgiveness, and salvation. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus offers the opportunity for humanity to be reconciled with God and have eternal life.
