Our faith revolves around Christ’s death and resurrection, making Easter the most important event in Christianity. So how do we celebrate this tradition? Here are some Christ-centered Easter ideas you and your family should try. 

What is Easter Sunday?

For the ancient pagans, Easter was a celebration of the spring equinox. It is also referred to as Pascha or Resurrection Sunday. 

Today, Jesus Christ’s followers celebrate Easter due to the belief in the resurrection and promise of eternal life as a means of remembering his sacrifices for us. Easter 2023 will be observed on April 9, 2023. 

The story of Easter, including Jesus’ arrest by Roman authorities because of his statements that He was the “son of God,” is recounted in the new testament of the Bible.
