Each of these has enormous significance, but Wright brings out the truth that Easter has lost much of its importance. Easter is a wonderful holiday when many families come together and celebrate. Candy, Easter eggs, bunnies, gifts are all part of common Easter celebrations. This is certainly not a bad thing. But what is actually celebrated during this holiday? I believe many people know the basic story of Jesus' resurrection and know that it is the reason Easter exists, but it has lost its importance due to excessive advertising and retailer corruption. By this I mean that the news extended the celebration of Easter to everyone, non-Christians and Christians. This would not be a bad thing though, as non-believers are not aware of the importance and significance of Easter. The sole purpose of the news broadcast during this holiday is pure commercialism, to provide retailers with more ways to make profits. It's very corrupt. With all this, the direct effect is the loss of the meaning of Easter. In Wright's book, he brings out this truth. He explains how we are to be “Easter people.” For me, this means giving meaning back to Easter. Easter is the story of the resurrection of Christ. If this were not the case, Christianity would not exist. The resurrection is important for several reasons. This shows the magnificent power of God, foreshadows the resurrection of human beings, and shows us that God has defeated Satan. Anyway, we can see how important this is. We must live as an Easter people and celebrate it in a deeper and more meaningful way. In doing so, we strengthen our own faith and also witness to others. Talking about resurrection can be a very edifying subject, conversely, death is not generally thought of in the same way.
