It is believed that on Good Friday, Jesus Christ was executed by crucifixion. After that his body was taken down from the cross, and buried in a cave. The tomb was guarded and an enormous stone was put over the entrance, so that no one could steal the body. On the following sunday, some women visited the grave and found that the stone had been moved, and that the tomb was empty. Jesus himself was seen that day, and for days afterwards by many people. His followers realised that God had raised Jesus from the dead.
Easter is the important Christian festival, and celebrated with great joy. Churches are filled with flowers, and there are some special hymns and songs for the occasion.
The other important this is to be noted that the date of Easter changes each year, and several other Christian festivals fix their dates by reference to Easter.
