I'm not suggesting that there isn't. I was merely pointing it out in case some looking in may think that they are.

Is the resurrection scriptural? Because isn't that what is celebrated on Easter?

Is the resurrection scriptural?

It is. I'm surprised you need to ask.

Because isn't that what is celebrated on Easter?

It is. It's just that it's not a scriptural feast celebration.

It's usually a good idea to ask what others believe rather than to assume.

Who said it was?

Easter (or Pascha) is the highest, most important, and central feast of Christianity, often called the "solemnity of solemnities" or "feast of feasts". It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, symbolizing the victory over sin and death, which is the foundation of the Christian faith.

Key Aspects of Easter:

• Significance: It marks the fulfillment of Christian faith, proving Christ's divinity and promising resurrection to believers.
• "Feast of Feasts": In Eastern Orthodoxy, it is considered superior to the twelve "Great Feasts" standing alone as the ultimate celebration.
• Timing: It is celebrated on the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon. In 2026, Easter Sunday is observed on April 5.
• Season: While it is a single day of high solemnity, it initiates the 50-day Easter season leading up to Pentecost.

While Christmas is highly popular, Easter holds the top theological position because the Resurrection is deemed the core event without which Christianity would not exist.

[buttercup]

None of those are biblical feasts.

Strange question.

Is there anything wrong with celebrating specific events in the life of Jesus Christ?
