HAPPY EASTER

A lot of Churches start the Easter Sunday celebrations at Midnight on Easter Eve. Candles
are used in churches all over the world to start the Easter Day Midnight celebrations. Candles
help Christians to remember that Jesus is the light of the world and that when he rose to life
on Easter Day he got rid of the darkness of evil.

In some churches, the service starts in darkness. Then twelve candles are lit and these are
taken round the rest of the church lighting the other candles. When a candle is lit the Priest
says 'Christ is Risen!' and the congregation respond 'He is Risen Indeed!'. In Greece,
fireworks are sometimes used to start the service.

Churches are filled with flowers on Easter Day. These represent new life. Priests wear their
best, brightest robes in celebration. If a Church has a model of a tomb in it from Good Friday,
it will be empty with the stone rolled away, as it was on the first Easter Day.

Easter Day is the end of Lent and means the end of some people's fasting.

Easter Sunday or Easter Day is the most important day of the year for Christians. It is when
they celebrate that three days after being killed, Jesus rose from the dead, sometimes called
'the Resurrection' and defeated evil forever.
