Easter’s Importance and Easter Facts

Easters+Importance+and+Easter+Facts

Easter is a special time of year for many people, but not many people know the significance of Easter. Easter is a time to celebrate the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is a time to pray, give alms, and sacrifice things, like giving up something we enjoy or devoting our time to help others. Christians view Easter as the most important date of all, and as the holiest day of the year. 

However, there are fun sides to Easter and fun facts about Easter. A few facts are that the largest Easter parade is always held in New York City, the Easter bunny did not exist in America until the 18th century, 2 billion Peeps are made a year in celebration of Easter and sometimes Easter sells more candy than Halloween does. 

Easter is a holy time as well as an enjoyable time. Whether you want to learn about the importance of Easter, or fun facts about Easter, there is so much information out there to be learned on this seemingly simple holiday.
