The Best Easter Holidays and Festivals
Easter, also known as Pascha or Resurrection Sunday, commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus of the Christian faith. The date, which is Easter Sunday, coincides with the crucifixion of Jesus. This is the main religious celebration that happens on that day, aside from Palm Sunday, Good Friday and the Orthodox Christian calendar. It is considered to be the beginning of the Lent season. In Eastern Christianity, Easter Sunday is also the start of the Easter season, which falls on the weekend before Ash Wednesday.
What happened on Easter Sunday is related to the rising of Easter Sunday from the cross, where Mary, her mother Mary and Joseph were arrested and put into the wagon that would take them to Bethlehem, where she and baby Jesus would be born. Mary was pregnant and her pregnancy gave birth to Jesus, who is believed to be the God-man. They were later found in Nazareth, in the area now named after Jesus. It is important to remember that the Christians do not celebrate Easter as a secular holiday, but an actual Christian holiday, which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. While other holidays are based on different gods or myths, Easter Sunday remains true to its Christian roots.
The Resurrection of Jesus is celebrated around the world as Easter Sunday, despite the fact that there were many Christian celebrations prior to that time. Easter became popular among pagans when they decided to remove Easter from the calendar and replace it with the Easter celebration that is celebrated in most of the Christian world on that day. The Christians immediately took issue with this change, claiming that it was a pagan invention. The Protestants were next to take issue with this un-Christian practice, and they began to form groups to protest the actions of the pagans. There is no doubt that the changing of Easter dates had a significant impact on the religious practices of both Christians and pagans, and it was inevitable that a compromise would eventually be made.
The Catholic Church claims that they made the decision to drop Easter from their calendar over forty days before the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. They point out that during this time they had much more serious problems than simply trying to celebrate Easter. They also claim that they never wanted to impose a particular faith on the entire world, and they are just glad that the issues between the Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholic Church can be solved easily and relatively painlessly through Easter Sunday. In spite of all of this, there are a number of very important facts about Easter that are still debated by Christians, and they include the following:
The first is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Most Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus by observing the ten days of Lent during which they abstain from eating meat. On the second Sunday of Easter they resume eating meat, and on the following Sunday they actually consume fish. This, along with the story of the Last Supper, gives Christians enough hope to believe that they will one day return to receive the kingdom of Heaven. Without this belief, Christians are forced to cancel their Easter celebrations completely.
Another important Easter Christian Holiday is the Passion of the Lord. This Easter Sunday is the last occasion that we celebrate the death of Jesus, and many Christians commemorate this event in various ways. While others to fast and abstain from food and drink, others decorate their homes with flowers and egg decorations. When it comes right down to it, the main Easter holiday after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the Resurrection of He who was raised from the dead.
