Christians believe that that is the day Jesus rose from the dead.

Easter is the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ. When Jesus died on the cross, he went to the grave only for three days. After this, some women who loved him went to his tomb to put perfumes on his body (see customs of the day). But when they got there, the large stone put in front of the door by the Romans was rolled away and there was an angel in front of the door who said, "Do not fear, He is risen." So, when you hunt for Easter eggs and wear pretty dresses, remember Christ's resurrection.

Celebrating EasterEaster is celebrated by Christians by attending Easter church services. They, along with others, also participate in giving Easter baskets (often from the Easter Bunny), getting together with family for a special Easter meal, hiding Easter eggs for children to find, baking special Easter treats, and other activities.

Christians celebrate the time when Jesus sacrificed himself to purge humanity of their sins (Good Friday) and the time when Jesus was reborn (Easter Sunday)

Jesus Christ promised that he would raise from the dead three days after he was crucified. That promise came true on what we now celebrate as Easter Sunday. We celebrate because through our belief in Jesus Christ, we are promised eternal life with him in heaven. He, by dying and suffering on the cross, had taken upon himself all punishment for the sins of the world. For us to be forgiven all we have to do is believe in Him. That is why we celebrate.

Easter is celebrated because on April 24th, Jesus rose from the dead and finally went to heaven. Therefore, people have been celebrating that ever since. If not just check The Bible lol!

We celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. How ever we don't celebrate it with rabbits and eggs. Rabbits and eggs have nothing to do with the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
