Easter Sunday is the day Christians gather to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that Jesus died on the cross and was buried in a stone tomb. Jesus rose again on the third day. When his disciples went to the tomb, they could not find his body. After his resurrection, he appeared to many people. This year, the day falls on April 5, 2015.
