Festival: Happy Easter Day


alexleow-kimmy.com would like to take this opportunity to wish all of the Christians Community a Happy Easter Day. Easter is a day of sadness and of course a day to celebrate as well.

The real means of celebrating Easter day is to celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. According to Christian scripture, Jesus was ressurected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Some Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between AD 26 and AD 36. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascention Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave Of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance.

The celebration will be fulfilled with church services, festive family meals, easter eggs and gifts hunt. So if you are celebrating it, enjoy yourselves and of course this is a day of the remembrance of Jesus Christ as well.
