Why Do We Celebrate Easter?

Answer Question

11 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Easter is celebrated around the world for many religious and commercial reasons, traditionally falling on a Sunday from March 22nd to April 25th. It is primarily the celebration of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Christian tradition, and is broken up into Good Friday (the Crucifixion), and Easter Sunday (the Resurrection). It therefore symbolically represents the most important event in the Christian calendar, and forms part of a longer Easter festival that includes Lent, as well as Jesus' life immediately before the Crucifixion. Alternatively, Easter has become known as a holiday period in the Western world, with bank holidays on the preceding Friday and Monday, as well as the giving of gifts, most notably chocolate Easter Eggs. Some have argued that the real meaning of Easter has been replaced by its commercial dimension, but in any scenario the holiday represents the symbolic rebirth of spring from winter, and a continuing celebration of annual growth and change.
