Do you know what easter is? Easter is a christian festival. We celebrate this festival, because Jesus came back to life after he died. On Friday Jesus was killed on a cross.

On Saturday the people put him in a cave and closed it with a big stone. Today the people are very sad on Friday and Saturday because Jesus died.
