Why do people celebrate Easter?

Easter is one of the principle if not the most important holidays in the Christian religion because it observes the day followers of the faith believe Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead three days after his crucifixion and death on Good Friday.

According to the Christian religion, the death of Jesus marks the forgiveness of humanity's sins and the promise of an afterlife with Christ.

The resurrection is thought to be a miracle and proof of Christ as a deity. It is why Christians typically wear crucifixes as a symbol of their beliefs.
