Easter is a season of joy because Christians are rejoicing in the resurrection of Jesus. On Good Friday Jesus died to ransom us from our sins. Though this is to help us, Christians still mourn His absence from them, for as Jesus said in St. Luke 5:35, comparing Himself to a bridegroom, "But the day will come, when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days." But on Easter Jesus rose from death, and so Christians rejoice. (Bible verse from the Douay-Rheims Bible.)
