Easter 2010 is celebrated on April 4 at the Chruch we Attend we refer to this day as Ressurection Sunday .
For Christians the week prior to Easter is called Holy week. It begins on Palm Sunday March 28th this year, days of Holy Week include:
March 28th Palm Sunday - Jesus enters Jerusalem.
April 1 Maundy Thursday - The Last Supper and betrayal.
April 2 Good Friday - The arrest, trial, crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus.
For Christians, there is no holiday more important than Easter. Easter is the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. He had been crucified and was buried for three days. All his disciples had believed that he was gone for good. None had understood that his sacrifice was the primary purpose of his short life and the only way for us to obtain righteousness and restore our fellowship with God. No man had taken his life. There was no sin in him and no way for Satan to take his life. It was freely given for us all.
That first Easter morning proved beyond any doubt that Jesus was the Messiah. He had told the religious leaders and his disciples that He would give His life and on the third day rise from the grave. The religious authorities had remembered His words and tried to prevent it with a large stone in front of the tomb, a Roman seal and guards. But none of that prevented God's plan for that first Easter. For 40 days after Easter morning, many people were eyewitnesses to the resurrection.
I beleive Jesus is my Lord and Savior and Easter brings me great hope and Joy.
We celebrate Easter in the Spring reminding us of life renewal it coincides with the spring Equinox and Passover. I wish you all a Happy Celebration of life and pray you may find peace in happiness however you believe!

thanks for the reminder sometimes I get caught up in the Easter bunny rather then the real reason, our Savior. Love you.
