This past Sunday was very important for many people of the Christian/Protestant community. Sunday marked the rising of Jesus from the grave and ascending to heaven, after his death on Thursday night. Most commonly known as Easter Sunday, it is a day were people can come together to celebrate Jesus being alive and his promise he gave to come back one day in the future.
Easter Sunday is one of the most highly attended church days of the year other than Christmas time. The entire backbone of the Protestant religion is based on this important day and of course the birth of Jesus who died and then rose. Easter is also known for fixing lots of good food and having family over to celebrate. This day also reminds me of Thanksgiving when family gathers, simply to celebrate life and Jesus.
My favorite part about Easter is getting a new dress, and dressing up extra nice for church. It gives the day a better sense of importance, when I am able to ask myself why I am so dressed up for. It is because Jesus made a sacrifice for all the sinners in the world including myself, and then made a promise that one day he will return to claim his children who believe in him.
"But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him." Acts 2:24
