Easter Sunday is seen as a joyful day because, in accordance with widespread Christian belief, Jesus Christ's resurrection represents that life does not finish with death. Christians visit churches on Easter Sunday to confess their sins, which is followed by readings from the Bible. The main purpose of doing this is to represent praying to God in some way. Easter has a special meaning for Christians as a result of this.
The Origins And Meaning Of Easter
The New Testament of the Bible's sacred book recounts the events leading up to Easter. It shows how Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, crucified the Lord Jesus. According to tradition, Christ actively pursued this goal since doing so allowed him to atone for the sins of his devotees and followers. Three days after his execution, he rose from the dead once more, demonstrating that as God's Son, he had conquered death and everything else. This day is significant since it both commemorates Easter and the Jewish holiday of Passover.
The entire week leading up to Easter is referred to as "Holy Week," with Maundy Thursday marking the last day.
