Everybody gets worked up about Christmas, but to me Easter Sunday is the soul of Christianity. Without a risen King it is all nothing. He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
New Testament scholar N. T. Wright suggested: “We should be taking steps to celebrate Easter in creative new ways: in art, literature, children’s games, poetry, music, dance, festivals, bells, special concerts. … This is our greatest festival.
