Let's celebrate ! Easter 2014

Easter, the Christian holiday that celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, falls on Sunday, April 8th this year. Lent, the 40-day time period that leads up to Easter Sunday, is a time of reflection and penance that represents the 40 days that Jesus spent alone in the wilderness before beginning his ministry. Christians believe that during this time, Jesus survived many temptations from the devil himself.  The week prior to Easter, “Holy Week” , begins with Palm Sunday, a day that recognizes Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, and also includes Maundy Thursday (commemorates the Last Supper) and  Good Friday (this day honors Christ’s crucifixion). The fifty days following Easter Sunday are called Eastertide and celebrate Jesus’ ascension into heaven.  Easter is Christianity’s most important holiday in that it recognizes and honors the fact that Jesus Christ died for the forgiveness of sins.
