Happy Easter 2014: All you need to know

On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Generally the foremost well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches.

Christians believe, consistent with Scripture, which Jesus Christ came back to life, or was raised from the dead, 3 days after his death on the cross. As a part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, the Fri before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus Christ paid the penalty for sin, therefore buying for all who believe him, aliveness in Christ.

In Western Christianity, Easter marks the tip of season, a 40-day amount of fast, repentance, moderation and non secular discipline in preparation for Easter. Season begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday. Eastern Orthodox churches observe season or nice season, throughout the six weeks or forty days precedingPalm Sunday with fast continued throughout the Holy Week of Easter. Season for eastern Orthodox churches begins on Mon and Ash Wednesday isn't ascertained.


Because of Easter's pagan origins, and additionally due to the commercialisation of Easter, several Christian churches prefer to check with the vacation as Resurrection Day.


The biblical account of Jesus' death on the cross, or crucifixion, his burial and his resurrection, or rising from the dead, is found within the following passages of Scripture: Matthew 27:27-28:8; Mark 15:16-16:19; Luke 23:26-24:35; and John 19:16-20:30.




In Western Christianity, Easter is often celebrated on the Sunday right away following the paschal full phase of the moon.
