The Last Supper (Matthew 26:17-35) Crucifixion (Mark 15:21-40) The Resurrection (Mark 16:1-8)
The scripture traditionally read on Easter Sunday is the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as told in the New Testament of the Bible.
The word 'Easter' is used on Palm Sunday. According to Christian Scripture, Easter demonstrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after His crucifixion.
The nighttime celebration of the resurrection is called the Easter Vigil. It takes place on Holy Saturday night, just before Easter Sunday, and includes the lighting of the Paschal candle, readings from Scripture, baptisms, and the Eucharist. This service marks the transition from the solemnity of Good Friday to the joy of Easter, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
One of the most significant scriptures for Easter is from the Bible, in the book of John 3:16, which states, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This verse captures the essence of Easter, highlighting the sacrifice of Jesus and the promise of eternal life through belief in him.

On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the most well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches. Christians believe, according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus.
