What is Easter Sunday?
The highest celebration of the church year is Easter Sunday. It is when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. According to the Bible, Jesus’ friends arrived at grave to find the stone moved and an angel standing nearby saying that Jesus’ body was no longer in the grave that he had been raised from the dead. In many churches outdoor Easter services take place at sunrise to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. Just as Jesus rose from the dead Christians believe they will rise from the dead into heaven after their death on earth.
