Easter has different origins and meanings for different beliefs and cultures. Originally a pagan spring festival celebrating renewal, it later became a Christian celebration of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Today, Easter is commonly associated with new life and beginnings, and is celebrated by many Christian denominations annually to honor Jesus being brought back to life.
2. What is the history of
Easter?
Easter has different meanings for
people with different beliefs.
In old cultures in England that
worshiped nature there was a festival
in April for the Goddess Eostre which
had hares and eggs in it. When new
people moved into the area the festival
changed and became the celebration we
know now. The common idea around
Easter is new life and new beginnings.

Religions for hundreds of years
as a festival about the
Crucifixion and Resurrection of
Christ. A number of different
churches celebrate this event
because they all believe that
Jesus was bought back to life
and they celebrate each year to
honour and remember.
