Feel the Joy of Easter with 96five!
The leaves are changing, the air carries a crisp coolness, and a spirit of renewal fills the air – Easter is just around the corner! This sacred holiday holds immense significance for Christians, marking Jesus’ resurrection and the end of the Holy Week. But beyond the religious aspect, Easter, as well as Palm Sunday, is also a time for families and communities to come together, celebrate new beginnings, and create lasting memories.
Why Read About Easter?
Easter’s origins are a beautiful blend of history and faith. Though we say “Happy Easter” today, the holiday’s roots are connected to the Jewish Festival of Passover or simply the Jewish Passover. It’s a time that many cultures marked with celebrations of new life. Early Christians, inspired by this symbolism and the fact that Jesus died around Passover, saw the season’s renewal reflected in the resurrection of Jesus.
This connection of Jesus’ death and rebirth became Easter, a time to celebrate new beginnings and the promise of eternal life. Even the tradition of coloured eggs, symbolising new beginnings, might have roots in ancient celebrations of new life.
While a fluffy Easter bunny with a basket of chocolate Easter eggs is a delightful part of the Easter season, there’s so much more to discover about Easter. Reading articles and stories can enrich your understanding of the holiday’s history, traditions, and symbolism, especially considering Brisbane’s unique Autumn Easter experience. That’s why we’ve curated a collection of Easter content specifically for Brisbane families.
