Easter 2024: 20 Inspiring Bible Verses and Quotes to Lift Your Spirits!

Easter is a special Christian holiday celebrating Jesus Christ’s resurrection. It occurs at different times each year, usually between late March and late April. In Western Christianity, Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring, starting on March 21. Eastern Orthodox churches, following a different calendar, calculate Easter slightly in another way, so they might celebrate it a bit earlier or later. This year, Easter is being celebrated today on March 31. Whether you’re teaching at Sunday school, searching for an Easter quote, making cards, decorating for a spring party, or reading the Easter story, these Bible verses about resurrection will uplift your spirit and bring joy to your heart.
