Easter is a reminder of Jesus’ significance to me. It also reveals to me how many people are Catholic just like me. Seeing the parishioners walk down my street shows how many faithful there are.

Easter is a time of reverence and appreciation for the risen Lord, Jesus. I enjoy spending this time with my family in reflection and prayer.

Easter is the most important day of the Church. It’s the day we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. I like Easter because, being a Catholic, it’s what my faith is based of off.

Easter is the day when we celebrate Jesus’ rising from the dead. It is a chance to start fresh spiritually and grow closer to Jesus. I like to go to the Easter Vigil because I like to light the candles. I think Easter is the season which we participate the most in Church.
