So, the meaning of Easter is that no matter what we're going through, we can have hope and peace because of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. It means we are deeply loved and never alone in our struggles. This promise of peace is constant and forever – it's up to us to choose to accept it.
And the significance of Easter celebrations is rooted in this incredible story. Even some of the traditions we enjoy today have connections to the biblical Easter story. Hot cross buns, often eaten on Good Friday, have the cross on top symbolizing the cross Jesus died on, and the spices inside are said to represent those used to prepare his body for burial.
Even Easter eggs have a meaning! The hollow chocolate egg can remind us of the empty tomb after Jesus rose, and the solid egg shape can be like the stone that was rolled away. And those cute chocolate bunnies? They often represent new life, because the resurrection of Jesus offers new and everlasting life to everyone who believes in him.
Whatever Easter customs and traditions you might enjoy this year, we hope they remind you of the real meaning of Easter — which is Jesus’ love for you.
