When you think about Easter, you probably think of the Easter Bunny, coloured eggs and lots of candy.. but to Christians around the world it is much, much more. Easter is the most important day in the Christian calendar.
Easter day is the day Christians remember Jesus rising from the dead. After his brutal cruxifixion, a large stone was rolled over his tomb. But shortly after his death when followers went back to honour Jesus, the stone had mysteriously been moved and only the cloth that wrapped Jesus' body was laying there. As the story goes, Jesus' body was no longer in the tomb
and he had in fact risen from his death in order to save us all. An angel nearby this tomb told his followers of the miracle that had taken place.
The resurrection, as described in the Bible, means that at the very moment Jesus rose from the dead, was the very moment we would be given eternal life. Christians would now receive new life after death. The Easter holiday celebrates this belief.
May this Easter have a greater meaning to you as it is to us :)
