What Is Easter?

One of the most important holidays celebrated by Christians internationally is Easter. It is standard procedure to observe this religious feast on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. Since it signifies the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the crucifixion and resurrection of the Christian religion, Easter is a season full of joy, hope, and rebirth.

For Christians across the world, Easter is an opportunity for self-examination, prayer, and confession of faith. It’s a moment to rejoice in Jesus Christ’s final triumph over death and the hope it gives Christians. Jesus’ resurrection is seen as proof of God’s love for people and an assurance of eternal life for all who believe.

Easter is observed in numerous ways all across the world. In some nations, it is a public holiday, and people go to church, take part in parades, or visit their loved ones. Easter is observed in some nations in a more solemn manner, with individual prayers. Easter is a time for Christians to gather in fellowship and celebrate their religion, regardless of how it is observed.

The Origins And History Of Easter

Easter is a Christian celebration and cultural event that symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, which the New Testament claims took place on the third day of his burial after his Roman crucifixion at Jerusalem. However, it is also known as “Pascha” in Greek or Resurrection Sunday.  Christians commence a  40-day period of fasting, prayer, and repentance known as Lent the easter celebration, which serves as the conclusion of Jesus Christ’s Passion.

 In Christianity Easter observing Holy Week, which is the week before Easter, begins on Palm Sunday and marks the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem.  It includes the betrayal of Jesus and contains the days of the Easter celebration,  Monday and Thursday, honoring the Last Supper and Good Friday. Moreover, this week is known for celebrating the crucifixion and death of Jesus.

Easter may be referred to as “Great and Holy Pascha,” “Easter Sunday,” “Pascha,” or “Sunday of Pascha” in Eastern Christianity, which celebrates the same days and events. However, these days are all given names that begin with “Holy” or “Holy and Great.” Eastertide, often known as the Easter Season, is a seven-week period in Western Christianity that starts on Easter Sunday and ends on Pentecost Sunday, the 50th day.

Dates Of Easter

Easter occurs on several dates. It always takes place between March 22 and April 25. The moon’s cycles determine when Passover falls. Easter will always fall on the Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring equinox, church authorities decided in the fourth century. 

However, the decision to utilize different calendars by the Western and Eastern (Orthodox) Christian churches in the 18th century prompted it to become even more confusing. Therefore, Easter is observed by Orthodox Christians on a separate Sunday. Church authorities and governments have attempted to agree on a fixed date for Easter in April in recent decades, but no agreement has been established.

Easter Celebrations Round The World

Easter is generally observed as a public holiday in nations where Christianity is the official religion or in those with large Christian populations. Moreover, as Easter always occurs on a Sunday, Easter Monday is observed as a public holiday in many nations across the world. On Easter Sunday, a few businesses, shopping centers, and eateries are closed. Several nations, as well as  U.S. states, observe Good Friday as a public holiday. It falls two days before Easter Sunday. However, several financial institutions, companies, and public schools are closed, even in areas where Good Friday is not a holiday; the few banks that are usually open on ordinary Sundays are also closed on Easter. Countries like northern Europe, southwest Europe, America, Canada, and Greece observe Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday as public holidays.

Easter is celebrated in a variety of ways by many nations and religious groups. Attending church services, giving Easter greetings, making Easter eggs, and gathering with loved ones for special dinners are a few of the most popular traditions. However, in some cultures, Easter is also a time for gift-giving and exchanging sweets like hot cross buns and chocolate eggs.

The Spiritual Significance Of Easter

The fact that Easter clearly represents the ultimate act of love and sacrifice gives it spiritual value. Being the final victory over sin and death, the resurrection of Jesus Christ serves as a reminder of the strength of faith and the value of leading a life of selfless service. Christians can reflect on their own lives, repent of their sins, and commit themselves to lead loving and compassionate lifestyles during the Easter celebration.

In Conclusion, Christians all throughout the world view Easter as having significant religious meaning. However, as a way to remember the power of faith, the necessity of leading a life characterized by love and compassion, and the promise of everlasting life, it celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Christians from all over the world get together to celebrate this important occasion and renew their dedication to living a life of hope, joy, and service to others. They do this by attending church services, gathering for meals with family and friends, or exchanging Easter greetings.

On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross

The emblem of suffering and shame

And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best

And I’ll cherish the old rugged Cross

And till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged Cross

And exchange it someday for a crown

2.

To the old rugged Cross, I will never be true

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

And they will call me some day to my home far away

Where his glory forever I’ll share

And I’ll cherish the old rugged Cross

Until my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged Cross

And exchange it some day for a crown

I will cling to the old rugged Cross

And exchange it some day for a crown

Here in the death of Christ I live

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee;

let the water and the blood,

from thy wounded side which flowed,

be of sin the double cure;

save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labors of my hands

can fulfill thy law’s demands;

could my zeal no respite know,

could my tears forever flow,

all for sin could not atone;

thou must save, and thou alone.

3.

Nothing in my hand I bring,

simply to the cross I cling;

naked, come to thee for dress;

helpless, look to thee for grace;

foul, I to the fountain fly;

wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,

when mine eyes shall close in death,

when I soar to worlds unknown,

see thee on thy judgment throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee.

Just beyond the river.

Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness

Where is death’s sting?

Where, grave, thy victory?

I triumph still, if Thou abide with me

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies

Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee

In life, in death, o Lord, abide with me

Abide with me, abide with me

and the burden of the day.

2.

Upon the cross of Jesus

mine eye at times can see

the very dying form of One

who suffered there for me:

and from my stricken heart with tears

two wonders I confess,

the wonders of redeeming love

and my unworthiness.

3.

I take, O cross, thy shadow

for my abiding place:

I ask no other sunshine than

the sunshine of his face;

content to let the world go by,

to know no gain nor loss;

my sinful self my only shame,

my glory all the cross.

25. He Leadeth Me

Man walking towards a huge cross passage

1.

He leadeth me: O blessed thought!

O words with heavenly comfort fraught!

Whate’er I do, where’er I be,

still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Refrain:

He leadeth me, he leadeth me;

by his own hand he leadeth me:

his faithful follower I would be,

for by his hand he leadeth me.

2.

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,

sometimes where Eden’s flowers bloom,

by waters calm, o’er troubled sea,

still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

3.

Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine,

nor ever murmur nor repine;

content, whatever lot I see,

since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

4.

And when my task on earth is done,

when, by thy grace, the victory’s won,

e’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,

since God through Jordan leadeth me.

26. Lift High the Cross

1.

Lift high the cross; the love of Christ proclaim,

Till all the world adore His sacred name.

Refrain:

Come, Christians, follow where our Savior trod,

Our King victorious, Christ, the Son of God.

3.

Led on their way by this triumphant sign,

The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.

4.

All newborn soldiers of the Crucified

Bear on their brows the seal of him who died.

5.

O Lord, once lifted on this glorious tree,

As Thou hast promised, draw us all to thee.

6.

So shall our song of triumph ever be:

Praise to the Crucified for victory!
