Easter is observed primarily by Christians to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. It celebrates Jesus rising on the third day after his crucifixion, symbolizing his victory over sin and death and offering believers the hope of eternal life. This event is considered the cornerstone of the Christian faith, signifying the fulfillment of God's plan for redemption and confirming Jesus as the Son of God. Easter marks the joyful conclusion to the season of Lent, a period of fasting, prayer, and penitence leading up to the celebration. It is the most important and joyful celebration in the Christian calendar, symbolizing new life, hope, and spiritual renewal.
