Does Easter Celebration Have Any Biblical Support? by ojeniyi1: 7:20am On Mar 29, 2013
I'm always curious to know if easter celebration has ever been validated in the holy bible. Has any of jesus' disciples ever observed easter celebration in the bible after the death of jesus christ. I want people with larger biblical mind to enlighten me so as to enlighten others about the importance of easter celebration using important bible verse(s) to buttress my point(s).

Luke 24:41 "And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence."

John 20:20 "After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord."

That is the account of the first Easter.

What is wrong in it if we have chosen a day out of 365 to be OVERJOYED and AMAZED because we know that the Lord has risen and conquered death?

Yes. John 20:20, in my last post.

But the essence of my post is to show you that the reason for our celebration is that Christ rises from the dead and conquers death.

The apostles were OVERJOYED.

Is it a sin if we too choose one day out of 365 to celebrate our risen saviour?

How many verses do you need to see to know that there is nothing wrong in celebrating Easter? 100?
