Celebrate Easter with Special Gifts
Celebrated as the most important festival of the Christian calendar, Easter
is the commemoration of Jesus's death and his rising from the dead, also
termed as the resurrection.
Easter or Resurrection Sunday is the day Christians celebrate the resurrection
of Jesus the Christ from the dead. Even before theologians explained the
death of Jesus in terms of various atonement theories, the early church
saw his resurrection as the central witness to a new act of God in history
and the victory of God in vindicating Jesus as the Messiah.
Easter marks the end of the Lenten season, Lenten is a forty-six-day
period starts on Ash Wednesday and ends with Easter. The Lenten season
itself comprises forty days, as the six Sundays in Lent are not actually
a part of Lent.
Sundays are considered as memorials of Easter Sunday and are excluded
from the Lenten fast. The Lenten season is a period of penitence in preparation
for the highest festival of the church year, Easter.
The story behind Easter
There is an interesting story behind Easter, according to the
Bible Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, followed later by some of Jesus'
disciples. What they observed their proved Jesus as Messiah. The tomb
containing Jesus’s body was empty.
Jesus then appeared to Mary and many of his disciples, speaking with
them on separate occasions during the following forty days. As he left
them for the last time, Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit so the
disciples would know God would never leave them. He then ascended into
heaven.
The Easter day
The date of Easter keeps on changing as it is based on lunar
calendar. As per the churches of the West Easter is observed on the first
Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or following the spring
equinox (March 2I). So Easter became a "movable" feast which
can occur as on or after March 21st.
Easter Tradition
Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit,
a symbol of fertility, and in colored Easter eggs, originally painted
with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg
rolling contests or given as gifts
The Easter Prayer
God, who for our redemption gave your only begotten Son to death on the
Cross, and by his glorious resurrection has delivered us from the power
of our enemy: Grant that we who celebrate with joy the day of our Lord’s
resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving
Spirit. Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with
him in the joy of his resurrection, empowered and transformed by your
grace in and among us.
O Lord, so stir up in your church, indeed in each of us, that Spirit of
adoption and reconciliation that is made possible by your grace revealed
in Jesus the Christ, that we being renewed in both body and mind, may
worship and serve you in sincerity and truth. We pray this in the name
of the same Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
