Easter is a festival of overwhelming joy. The joy that celebrates life. Or, rather, the victory of life over death. Why is Easter celebrated for? Most important, why Jesus is so remembered on Easter? The simple reason behind this celebration is – Christ resurrection, the ultimate symbol of rebirth. The rise of Christ on this day brought the joy of life. His resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him.
In short, I would say Easter is all about new life and hope. The beauty of this celebration lies in the colors of assorted candies, eggs and bunnies on this day. It brings so much of life! Easter is thought to be derived from the 8th century Anglo-Saxon fertility goddess Eostre, whose name may be from "eastre," meaning spring. Therefore, Easter is a celebration of the new life that is spring. It usually falls as early as March 22 and as late as April 25.
Easter is the sacred celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead. Easter is the holiest holiday of the year for Christians around the world. As Christians believe, because the Bible says that Jesus rose from the dead three days after his crucifixion, Easter is celebrated by Western Christians on Sunday. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion around 33 AD is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter.
