Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday is celebrated by Christians. Easter is the oldest of all Christian festivals. It is celebrated on the 3rd day of the Good Friday. Good Friday is the day when Jesus Christ was Crucified and killed. After being dead he Resurrected ( became alive ) on the 3rd Day i.e is on Sunday. And this is the Easter Sunday  (Easter 'Sunday' because it comes always on Sunday).

According to Bible when Jesus was crucified and was found dead. Joseph took his body down from the cross. Jesus' body was kept in a grave. Some women found that it was put there without been anointed with any of the customary spices or perfumes. These women along with other women when brought it to the grave on the third day i.e. Sunday, they found that the stone covering the entrance of the grave had moved from its place, and the body of Jesus was not found in the grave. Then came two angles who said ' Why you are searching body of a man who has been raised and was alive ', they came and told it to everyone that the son of Lord had risen from death.

After this Jesus came to his people and talked to them. Some did not believe him and were suspicious that it wasn't Jesus, then Jesus asked one of his disciples to touch his wounds on his palms which he had received while he was crucified. Then they believed that it was Jesus who had risen from death. After this he rose into the heaven to his father, the Lord. Special masses are held in Churches on this day.
