This Friday is Good Friday and then we will have Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Do you know why we celebrate Easter? And why is Easter important? Easter is my next favourite festival. My other favourite is Christmas. I am very glad and at the same time sad and ashamed.
On a Thursday close to 2000 years ago, Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of his disciples and brought to court and then he was sentence to die on the cross. It was sad. He has beaten and he had to carry his cross to the hill and there he was nailed to the cross. On Friday, Jesus died. That's why we have Good Friday. At that time, Jesus' family and friends were very sad. They thought that it was the end. Then on Sunday, when Mary (Jesus' mother) and Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, they could not find Jesus' body. Then an angel appeared to them and told them that Jeus has rose from the dead! He has resurrected!
Because He Lives
God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

I hope everyone will have a good Easter holiday but remember at the same time, remember why we celebrate Easter!
