He is risen!
The Bible says that Jesus Christ died on a cross on a Friday almost two thousand years ago.
Christians believe that on the following Sunday Christ arose from the
dead and, in so doing, proved that He is the Son of God. The day Jesus
died and was buried is known as Good Friday. The following Sunday is
Easter.
Christians celebrate this joyful holy day by going to church. Special
Easter services are held outdoors at sunrise. As Easter dawns, the
people pray, sing hymns, and listen to music.
Most Christians celebrate Easter between
March 22 and April 25. Others celebrate it between April 3 and May 8.
But, whenever Easter comes, it’s the oldest, the most important, and
the most joyful of all Christian holy days.
