The Origin of Easter and the Meaning of the Lord Jesus’ Resurrection


As is recorded in the Bible, the origin of Easter is as follows: Jesus Christ, after the betrayal of one of His disciples, was taken to the court and then nailed to the cross on Friday for redeeming the world by the willing sacrifice of Himself. According to the Jewish law, Saturday was the Sabbath when all activities must cease. So the followers of Christ could only hastily place His body in a grave by the sunset of Friday, and then hurried off. On Sunday morning, people went back to the grave, only to find the body of Jesus disappeared, and then they were told that Jesus Christ had been resurrected. Since then, the Christians have called the Sunday in memory of Jesus Christ’s resurrection Easter. This is the origin of Easter.
