Easter
An annual church festival commemorating Christ's resurrection, and occurring on Sunday, the second day after Good Friday. It corresponds to the pasha or passover of the Jews, and most nations still give it this name under the various forms of pascha, pasque, paque, or pask.
The day on which the festival is observed; Easter day.
To veer to the east; -- said of the wind.

Easter Quotations
Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.
Pope John Paul II
I am very proud of this work because it is more about the meaning of the Easter Rising and its relationship to what this whole century has been about, people liberating themselves, freeing themselves.
Leon Uris
Christ appeared alive on several occasions after the cataclysmic events of that first Easter.
Josh McDowell
To a Christian, Easter Sunday means everything, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Bernhard Langer
Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.
Marvin Olasky

Todd Rundgren
Do we believe that there is equal economic opportunity out there in the real world, right now, for each and every one of these groups? If we believed in the tooth fairy, if we believed in the Easter Bunny, we might well believe that.
William Weld
My mom used to say that Greek Easter was later because then you get stuff cheaper.
Amy Sedaris
The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.
Basil Hume
God expects from men something more than at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.
Robert South
A strangely reflective, even melancholy day. Is that because, unlike our cousins in the northern hemisphere, Easter is not associated with the energy and vitality of spring but with the more subdued spirit of autumn?
Hugh Mackay
We were taking collections for people with AIDS in New York around Easter.
Chita Rivera
What do you mean you don't believe in homosexuality? It's not like the Easter Bunny, your belief isn't necessary.
Lea DeLaria
And it is always Easter Sunday at the New York City Ballet. It is always coming back to life. Not even coming back to life - it lives in the constant present.
John Guare
