The reason for Easter is to celebrate the risen Christ and to remind Christians all over the world that Christ has gone to stay with God the Father in Heaven. This is the day when Jesus Christ rose from the grave.
John 20:1-18 says that on that Sunday morning, when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, she met it empty. She was frightened and thought that someone had stolen His body. Two angels appeared to her and told her to stop crying, she turned round and saw Jesus who told her that she should stop crying but she should go and tell His brothers that He had ascended to heaven to stay with God the Father.
