For many people, modern Easter celebrations would not be complete without bonnets, bunnies and colored eggs. As fun as those components can be, Christianity is at the heart of Easter, which is the most important date on the Christian religious calendar. Easter Sunday marks the culmination of events that shaped the beliefs and teachings of an entire faith.
Easter marks the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which Christians believe occurred within days of his crucifixion and burial. The Resurrection of Jesus is one of the chief tenets of the Christian faith and established for the faithful that Jesus is the Son of God. Easter is cited by believers as an example that God will righteously judge the world by sacrificing His son for the sins of others and that any person who chooses to follow Jesus receives everlasting life thanks to Christ’s Resurrection.
