Thank you for allowing me to participate. I hope Easter will bring a grand and glorious reconciliation of our political powers that be. Not much chance but we can still hope.

And that's exactly what Easter is, no matter the name or where it came from. Jesus, was resurrected some time early Sunday morning, as the first to be resurrected, never to die again.
However, the day of crucifixion is also as important as the resurrection. There were 3 Sabbaths the week that Jesus was crucified. Going by the HaLuah haIvri, the Jewish calendar based on the lunar cycle, Jesus was crucified on Wednesday and was not k**led as he voluntarily gave up his spirit after his work was finished.
You see, it was not just that he died, or that his blood was shed, it was that he HAD to be punished, he had to suffer terribly, horribly for OUR sins. Only when God was satisfied that he had suffered enough was he allowed to die, stating not that he was dying, but that his work on earth was finished. Jesus then gave up his spirit to the safe keeping of his Father.
This all happened before the high Sabbath of the Passover, the day the lamb that had been pampered and kept in the house for 14 days , was slaughtered and cooked and eaten before sunset which was the start of the sabbath of the Passover. This makes even more sense when you consider the symbolism of Christ being "k**led" on the same day as the sacrificial lamb, being the perfect divine sacrifice for all men for all time.
The crucifixion day is as important as the resurrection day, as it gave us forgiveness for our sins if we only believe on Jesus' name and accept his gift. With our sins forgiven the resurrection is the example of what will happen when our time comes. As the old song says,"With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven, never more to die.
These 2 days should be and are the most important to Christians as our hope and faith are based on the promises of them.

You probably know all this already, but I love to tell it anyway.

Actually, this is new learning for me as in months. But a Muslim made fun of me when I couldn't answer why Jesus said he would be in the ground 3 days and 3 nights, was crucified on Friday (good Friday) and rose again on Sunday morning. There's not enough time that way. But then it all falls into place when you research the Jewish holidays and their calendar. Knowing about the sacrificial lamb solidifies it even more. The Old Testament prophesied that he would be bruised and that it pleased God ( he bore our pain and suffering, and ultimately our death forever). But thank you for the compliment.
