Easter is the central celebration of the Christian liturgical year. It is the oldest and most important christian feast, celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The date of Easter determines the dates of all movable feast except those of the Advent. Easter occurs on the Sunday after the first formal new moon on or after the official spring equinox on March 21; it can occur between the Gregorian calendar dates of March 22 and April 25, inclusive , for Western churches and between the Gregorian calendar dates of April 4 and May 8, inclusive, for Eastern churches that use the Julian calendar for the dating of Easter.
- quote by John Chrysostom
Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless.
- quote by Charles M Crowe
Easter is the principal feast of the ecclesiastical year....the greatest feast (festum festorum), and that Christmas is celebrated only in preparation for Easter.
- quote by Leo I
Easter was first mentioned in a mid-second century Paschal homily believed to be written by Melito of Sandis (d.c.180) for reading aloud in the morning of Pascha, an earlier name for the feast. Originally, Easter was observed with Jweish Passover, but after the first council of Nicaea in 325 it was declared that Easter should be observed on Sunday, held to be the day of resurrection of Christ. The date was movable being the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.
- quote by Melito of Sardus
God expects from men something more than at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.
- quote by Robert South
- quote by Paul F. Kortepeter
Hedwig didn't return until the end of the Easter holidays. Percy's letter was enclosed in a package of Easter eggs that Mrs. Weasley had sent. Both Harry's and Ron's were the size of dragon eggs, and full of home-made toffee. Hermione's, however, was smaller than a chicken's egg. Her face fell when she saw it. "Your mum doesn't read Witch's Weekly, by any chance, does she, Ron?" she asked quietly. "Yeah," said Ron, whose mouth was full of toffee. "Gets it for the recipes." Hermione looked sadly at her tiny egg.
- quote by J.K. Rowling
Here is the amazing thing about Easter; the Resurrection Sunday for Christians is this, that Christ in the dying moments on the cross gives us the greatest illustration of forgiveness possible.
- quote by Bishop TD Jakes
I am the first and the last. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
- quote by Bible
I think of the garden after the rain; And hope to my heart comes singing, "At morn the cherry-blooms will be white, And the Easter bells be ringing!"
- quote by Edna Dean Procter
