Jesus came to save people and rise from the dead. So his coming to Earth and his rising from the dead are important events. Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas. At Easter, they celebrate Jesus rising from the grave. Although it is not as widely celebrated as Christmas, Easter is the most important of the two events, and is the most important event in Christianity.

In remembrance of the resurrection of Jesus. However, it is not the exact date in history since Easter is determined because of a dispute between the eastern orthodox and roman catholics (long long ago). The date of celebration is determined by the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.

Many of Easter traditions have little to do with Jesus resurrection. While we should remember Jesus resurrection, true Christians refrain from allowing pagan customs which some feel gives people a better understanding of who Jesus is and what he has done for us. According to Bible teaching, the arrangement for our salvation includes Jesus sacrifice of his perfect life, his resurrection and his presenting the value of his sacrifice to God in heaven. All these elements are important. Luke 22:19.20 Jesus asked his followers to commemorate his death not resurrection. This was done at the Lord's evening meal. True Christians have to be careful not to mix true worship with traditions of men.

Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus (when Jesus came back to life after being dead for several days). If the resurrection of Jesus hadn't happened, there wouldn't be Christianity.
