Yesterday, my sister and I were wondering about the word Easter because it seemed like just a weird name and we had no clue why it is the name for the day. So thank you!!
Love this explanation of the theology: "Jesus, understood in Christian theology as the new Passover lamb, becomes the center of a celebration not of seasonal lust, but of redemptive sacrifice. That’s what Easter is actually about."
I think Christians would also add the resurrection.
Happy to hear it. Haha, and yes of course, resurrection too, although the redemptive nature of the sacrifice partly includes the defeat over death, at least in my view.
