We should celebrate Easter in known ways from before, and there are many nice colors associated with it, for instance green and yellow and white. And we have Christmas, Easter and Pentecost to mark as feasts throughout the year. And we should love having free time and leisure time, and being engaged with people, flowers, food and beverages, and much more.

The naming of the celebration as "Easter" seems to go back to the name of a pre-Christian goddess in England, Eostre, who was celebrated at beginning of spring. The only reference to this goddess comes from the writings of the Venerable Bede, a British monk who lived in the late seventh and early eighth century. So, Easter is coming when it is spring, and it is also religious feast!

Easter, also called Pascha (Aramaic, Greek, Latin) or Resurrection Sunday, is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD.

Easter is divided within the suffering and the resurrection, and many things happened during these days when Jesus Christ died, and when there was a resurrection from the dead. Jesus Christ, being in two natures, the human and the nature from God, suffered and died on the Cross of Calvary for the remission of our sins and the third day, he rose again from the dead and now is seated on the right hand of the father as a great intercessor. Jesus Christ was crucified, although they really had nothing to accuse him for. But the people in Jerusalem at that time, said that he should die, since he had told them that he was the son of God, and that nothing that was ever done by humans, is not impossible for God, since God can do everything, both or new and known things. The second thing with Easter is the resurrection, and it was written about these things in the Old Testament. According to the New Testament writings he was firstborn from the dead, ushering in the Kingdom of God. He appeared to his disciples, calling the apostles to the Great Commission of proclaiming the Gospel of eternal salvation through his death and resurrection, and ascended to Heaven. Hence, God could do anything that is possible and impossible for humans, and God is the master of all things that can ever happen where there are humans.

What really occurred of miracles when Jesus Christ died? The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 27, mentions that an earthquake coincided with the crucifixion: “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open.

So, the life is Jesus Christ, that is something we should just believe, and we cannot prove all things that happened in his life, but many people have written about it, and there are plenty of books and journals writing about what happened. And there could not be a resurrection unless there was a God influenced in the actions, and God can do many more things than any human cannot do, of all things that a human just can do when living, working and operating.

So, what is the philosophy and the central message of the Easter? Ok, there are around 2,5 billions people around the earth believing in the life and the death of Jesus Christ. Easter is a celebration of the gift God gave us through the death, burial, and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ. I think of the ultimate sacrifice God made, as a father, by sending his one and only son to take on the atonement for our sins. Humans could not help themselves about these things, and we are helpless just as we are from human nature in nature, and therefore God had to help us with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and this is the salvation for all the humans to all times.

What do the colors yellow and white symbolize with the Easter? Easter Sunday uses the triumphant colors of yellow and white to represent the glory and joy of the resurrection. Yellow and white are also associated with the ideas of the victory of good over evil, purity, holiness and the promise of everlasting life. When Easter is over, priests wear green. It's a hopeful color, symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus Christ and «the promise of new life». So, the yellow and the green and the white color are much used in relation to Easter. We are using eggs when it is Easter, just to mark the empty tomb of Jesus Christ after the resurrection. God and Jesus Christ are stronger than the devil forces, and therefore we should wish to love God, and being with God after our deaths.

Have a nice Easter! Enjoy your time!
