Why don't Jehovah Witnesses celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Certainly we are thankful that Jehovah resurrected him, but in fact the only thing he commanded his followers to observe was his death. (Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26) It is interesting that there is no example among the first century Christians of them commemorating either the birth or the resurrection of Jesus, but only his death as he commanded.

What happens if a Jehovah celebrates Easter?
As Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Easter, there would not be any specific religious or spiritual significance attached to the holiday for them. They typically view Easter as having pagan origins and instead focus on commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on a different date called the Memorial of Christ's Death, which falls on the anniversary of the Jewish Passover.

Why don't Jehovah Witnesses believe in the birth of Christ?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not have doubts that Jesus was born. In fact, they are just as thankful he was born as the next person. They dont celebrate his birth, because his death holds more signifigance. Luke chapter 22 verses 19 through 20 gives clear meaning that Jesus was saying to celebrate his death, not his birth. His blood really saved man, not his birth. This question was no doubt asked on the bases that Jehovah's Witnesses do no celebrate Christmas. Contact local witnesses for more information about why they dont celebrate christmas or Jesus' birth.
