Easter is among the oldest and most important festivals in Christianity celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter concludes 40 days of fasting and is followed by the Holy week. The celebration of Jesus’s last supper (Holy Thursday) and his crucifixion (Good Friday) is a part of the Holy Week which ends on Easter Sunday. The word Easter comes from the early festival terminology 'Eostara' literally meaning the goddess of rebirth.
The Christian community across the world celebrates the Easter festival in full grandeur and happiness. If you are searching for the right Easter wish for your loved ones, go on to read this post. The Sunday before Easter is called the Palm Sunday, which marks the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem. Easter is a joyous occasion, and its celebration begins in the late hours of Saturday through a religious ceremony called Easter vigil. Other festivities include Easter eggs which represent birth and fertility along with Easter bunny which contains chocolates and sweets for kids.
The very first Easter taught us this: that life never ends and love never dies.

Easter’s story is present in the Bible’s New Testament, which narrates how the Romans arrested Jesus because he claimed to be the ‘Son of God’. He was later sentenced to death by the Roman Emperor Pontius Pilate.
Jesus was resurrected three days later, which marks the celebration of Easter. The day is associated with the Jewish festival of Passover.

Eggs filled with chocolate or painted eggs with sweets are gifts which are exchanged on Easter. Some examples of Easter traditions include treasure hunt which involves a search for Easter eggs and games like decoration of eggs.
The tradition of easter eggs is also followed even in pop-culture and games as the idea of easter eggs depict the concept of the hunt for an Easter egg during the festive season.
