Easter is the day Jesus rose from the dead. Good Friday was the day when he died on the cross for our sins.
That's the day of the week when Jesus came back to life.
In the Bible it says; He was reserected and came back to life after 3 days.
Easter and the crucifixion is related because the crucifixion was a sad day, since Jesus was killed. Then just a few days later Easter symbolizes the celebration when Jesus rose and came back.
In terms of Christianity. Easter started because Jesus came back to life on that day after dying on the cross two days before.
Spring time, in the Northern hemisphereCatholic AnswerThe Fifty Days from Easter until Pentecost is the Easter season.
Jesus was crucified. Jesus was nailed to a cross. Three days after he died he came back to life. This day happend to be Easter Sunday, or Palm Sunday.
I think its to symbolise the moving of the stone to the cave Jesus was in. An egg symbolises new life (like when the chick breaks from the egg) and Jesus did rise on this day and came back to life.
The Christian holiday of Easter celebrates a proof of the resurrection by the discovery of an empty tomb from which Christ arose. So the resurrection preceded the "first day of the week" which is reported.
