He is risen indeed!
Isn't that why we gather every Sunday (first day of the week) and not once a year as per the catholic tradition which in reality has no exact date when Jesus resurrected. I guess is easier to conform to man made traditions that are guesstimates than keeping it simple; i.e. Biblically speaking, we celebrate Jesus resurrection every Sunday and not once a year on a date that was not intended for us to know (just like Jesus b-day). Anyway, as is the Biblical costume - Jesus is risen and Christians celebrate that awesome event every Sunday! Stop pluralism!

Never heard it before, but I like it. Thanks for introducing me to something new.
I actually enjoyed it very much.

Please check your facts before posting about others. Catholics recognize every Sunday as a celebration of the resurrection as well. I know of no Christian group that celebrates the resurrection only once a year. This appears to be slander Catholics weekend. I do wish people would stick to logic and facts if they need to speak.
[quote]1166 “By a tradition handed down from the apostles which took its origin from the very day of Christ’s Resurrection, the Church celebrates the Paschal mystery every seventh day, which day is appropriately called the Lord’s Day or Sunday.” The day of Christ’s Resurrection is both the first day of the week, the memorial of the first day of creation, and the “eighth day,” on which Christ after his “rest” on the great sabbath inaugurates the “day that the Lord has made,” the “day that knows no evening.” The Lord’s Supper is its center, for there the whole community of the faithful encounters the risen Lord who invites them to his banquet: (1343) The Lord’s day, the day of Resurrection, the day of Christians, is our day. It is called the Lord’s day because on it the Lord rose victorious to the Father. If pagans call it the “day of the sun,” we willingly agree, for today the light of the world is raised, today is revealed the sun of justice with healing in his rays.1167 Sunday is the pre-eminent day for the liturgical assembly, when the faithful gather “to listen to the word of God and take part in the Eucharist, thus calling to mind the Passion, Resurrection, and glory of the Lord Jesus, and giving thanks to God who ‘has begotten them again, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead’ unto a living hope”: When we ponder, O Christ, the marvels accomplished on this day, the Sunday of your holy resurrection, we say: “Blessed is Sunday, for on it began creation … the world’s salvation … the renewal of the human race.… On Sunday heaven and earth rejoiced and the whole universe was filled with light. Blessed is Sunday, for on it were opened the gates of paradise so that Adam and all the exiles might enter it without fear.Catholic Church, Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2nd Ed.

So why Easter too? Because, like the Orthodox and most churches using a lectionary, every year we run through the entire life of Christ. In Eastern churches you will find the major events of Jesus life - all celebrated as feasts during the year - in order in the iconstasis. Why? Because Christ and the Gospel is central to our worship.
The feast of the Resurrection of Jesus, called Pascha (Easter), is the greatest of the feasts of the Eastern Orthodox Church (and of the Eastern Catholic Churches of the Byzantine Rite), and as such is called the "feast of feasts". In addition, there are other days of great importance in the life of the Church: the Twelve Great Feasts (Greek: Δωδεκάορτον). Eight great feasts in honor of Jesus Christ, and four great feasts honoring the Virgin Mary — the Theotokos — comprise The Twelve Great Feasts.[1] 21 September [O.S. 8 September], the Nativity of the Theotokos 27 September [O.S. 14 September], the Exaltation of the Cross 4 December [O.S. 21 November], the Presentation of the Theotokos 7 January [O.S. 25 December], the Nativity of Christ/Christmas 19 January [O.S. 6 January], the Baptism of Christ — Theophany, also called Epiphany 15 February [O.S. 2 February], the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple 7 April [O.S. 25 March], the Annunciation The Sunday before Pascha (Easter) — the Entry into Jerusalem or Flowery/Willow/Palm Sunday Forty Days after Pascha (Easter) — the Ascension of Christ Fifty Days after Pascha (Easter) — Pentecost 19 August [O.S. 6 August], the Transfiguration 28 August [O.S. 15 August], the Dormition (Falling Asleep) of the Theotokos

which in reality has no exact date when Jesus resurrected.
I assume that you realize that there is no intent to celebrate a precise anniversary dates. Rather the key points of the liturgical year are based upon appropriate symbolic dates that would be meaningful to pre-literate people in an agrarian society. The purpose is to insure that average Christians pre-universal literacy and pre-printing press can keep the life of Jesus in their mind ... and use Jesus' life as the guide for their own. The second aspect in determining the liturgical calendar was continuity with the Jewish traditions as originally the Christian celebrations were added to Jewish worship rather than separated from it ... all of which changed drastically in the late first century.
Yes! He is risen indeed!
I am so thankful that God has set me free in Christ. His perfect sacrifice covers me, a vile disgusting sin-sick repentant sinner overjoyed that what I could not do for myself - ever - Jesus did on the Cross to reclaim and own one such as me - forever.
Glory be to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit forever and ever, amen.
May He give us courage, strength, perseverance and joy to live like one reborn and reclaimed for God's Kingdom and His Glory!
Happy Easter Friends !!
Ja, han är sannerligen uppstånden!
