Mormons experience Easter in the Holy Land

During the month of December, Christians participate in various service activities and worship in their religious sects to recognize the birth of Jesus Christ. When springtime finally arrives, many American Christians may not recognize the fact that Easter is coming if it weren’t for the Cadbury Eggs on the candy aisle. Although Easter is still considered a reverent and beloved holiday for Christians in America, Easter Sunday falls on a different day each year, perhaps causing the death and resurrection of the Savior to be less celebrated than it should be.

In the Holy Land of Jerusalem, however, Holy Week includes several celebrations such as Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
