Paper 2
The Christian festival celebrating Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.
Revise: Christian Celebrations: Christmas and EasterChristmas and Easter are annual festivals through which Christians remember and celebrate events in Jesus’ life. They are not simply occasions to recall the past: worship, prayer and shared celebrations help believers express what those events mean for their lives today.
In an evaluation comparing Christmas and Easter, consider incarnation alongside salvation and resurrection, then justify your judgement.
Distinguish Christmas, which celebrates Jesus’ birth and the Incarnation, from Easter, which celebrates his resurrection. Good Friday commemorates his crucifixion.
