Inspirational Quotes about Easter Story
Easter is the central event of the Christian faith and every year Christians celebrate with church services and traditions. But what does Easter mean to Christians? The inspirational quotes below are taken from famous Christians like St Augustine and Martin Luther, as well as from less famous Christians whose names we don’t recognise. They give food for thought about the real meaning of Easter and help us understand its significance.
The season before Easter signifies the troubles in which we live here and now, while the time after Easter which we are celebrating at present signifies the happiness that will be ours in the future. What we commemorate before Easter is what we experience in this life; what we celebrate after Easter points to something we do not yet possess. This is why we keep the first season with fasting and prayer; but now the fast is over and we devote the present season to praise. Such is the meaning of the Alleluia we sing. – St. Augustine of Hippo
