Easter is one of the central holidays, or Holy Days, of Christianity. It honors the Resurrection of Jesus three days after His death by crucifixion. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful conclusion to the Lenten season of devoted prayer, fasting and penitence. It is when Christians give thanks for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. After His crucifixion, death, and burial, Christ rose from the grave three days later. By this, Christians believe He conquered death and redeemed Christians from sin. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the core of the Christian gospel. https://www.christianity.com/
