Easter is more than a religious holiday. It’s a symbol of how Jesus Christ, who we believe is God and our Savior, died and then came back to life.

People who trust in Jesus and understand how important his mission was celebrated this day with happiness.

This holiday shows our freedom from sin and our relationship with God.

It’s a time to remember when Jesus rose from the dead to show us how God’s life never ends.

When we will be with God, all of us (true Christians) will have the same amazing and perfect body.

This resurrection gift means we don’t need to fear death or worry about things that are hard to understand in this world.

The things we see now won’t last forever. But if we believe in God, we’ll get to be in heaven, where there’s endless happiness and peace.

There won’t be any more sadness.
