Why Christians Don’t Celebrate Easter but Resurrection Sunday

Why Christians Don't Celebrate Easter but Resurrection Sunday by Karim Maguid is a compelling exploration that challenges believers to reevaluate the traditions surrounding one of Christianity's most significant events. Maguid delves into the historical and cultural origins of Easter, revealing how many of its customs—such as eggs, bunnies, and even the name "Easter"—are rooted in ancient pagan festivals honoring fertility and spring.

Maguid argues that these traditions, while culturally ingrained, can distract from the true meaning of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that early Christians did not celebrate Easter as we know it today; instead, they commemorated the resurrection in ways closely tied to Passover, focusing on the fulfillment of prophecy and the new covenant established through Christ's sacrifice.

This book invites readers to shift their focus from secular customs to a more biblically grounded observance, encouraging the celebration of "Resurrection Sunday" as a way to honor the profound significance of Jesus' victory over death. Through thoughtful analysis and scriptural insight, Maguid provides a roadmap for believers seeking to align their worship practices more closely with the foundations of their faith.

For those yearning to deepen their spiritual walk and strip away the layers of cultural tradition that may obscure the gospel's core message, Why Christians Don't Celebrate Easter but Resurrection Sunday offers a transformative perspective that calls believers back to the heart of Christian worship.
