Easter Quotes

Faith, resurrection and hope, in quotes.

Alongside reflections on the Resurrection and forgiveness, this page keeps a few lighter lines about the Easter Bunny for a less solemn card. For church-going readers, our Prayers page has more devotional text.

The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.

Quotes by Charles Stanley

The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies. How much more, then, will He care for us, who are made in...

Quotes by Charles Stanley

There is only one secure foundation: a genuine, deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around, you'll stand firm if you stand on His love.

Quotes by Charles Stanley

But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus...

Quotes by Bono

Quotes by Billy Graham

To a Christian, Easter Sunday means everything, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Quotes by Bernhard Langer

God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.

Quotes by Bede Griffiths

The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.

Quotes by Basil Hume

Christ shared our experience; he suffered as we suffer; he died as we shall die, and for forty days in the desert he underwent the struggle between good and evil.

Quotes by Basil Hume

Quotes by Amy Sedaris

I have always wanted a bunny and I'll always have a rabbit the rest of my life.

Quotes by Amy Sedaris

Easter is an ancient festival of rebirth, but it’s also an excellent excuse for eating eggs. I really like eggs, of both the chocolate and chicken variety. But the chocolate ones, you must admit, can sustain only a fleeting interest....

Frequently Asked Questions

What event does Easter commemorate, and why is it considered the most important day in Christianity?
Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion, an event that lies at the very heart of Christian faith - it's understood as the ultimate triumph of life over death and the foundation for the hope of eternal life that Christians hold.
What kind of Easter quotes does this collection include?
This collection isn't limited to greeting-card lines - it also includes quotes that use Easter as a cultural reference point, including skeptical takes on the Easter Bunny tradition. For example: "Most people outside of America won't get it. It's the Easter bunny. It's another lie and I don't understand why we had to invent this character." Quotes like this sit alongside more traditional, faith-based reflections on the holiday.
How is the date of Easter actually calculated, and when does it fall in 2027?
Easter is a movable feast determined by the Computus: it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the spring equinox. Working through that calculation, Easter Sunday in 2027 falls on March 28.
Are all the quotes here religious in nature?
No. Some quotes touch on the political or cultural side of Easter, even questioning how literally ideas like the Easter Bunny are taken - one quote puts it bluntly: "Most people outside of America won't get it. It's the Easter bunny. It's another lie and I don't understand why we had to invent this character." Others lean fully into the Christian meaning of the day, such as: "Here is the amazing thing about Easter; the Resurrection Sunday for Christians is this, that Christ in the dying moments on the cross gives us the greatest illustration of forgiveness possible."
Why is Easter's timing connected to the Jewish festival of Passover?
The Last Supper and crucifixion took place during the Passover season, since Jesus and his disciples were in Jerusalem for that Jewish festival. Early Christians initially tied Easter's timing closely to Passover before the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE established the independent lunar-based formula still used today.
What does a more poetic or reflective Easter quote look like?
One of the more lyrical lines in this set reads: "It is the hour to rend thy chains, the blossom time of souls." It leans on Easter's spring symbolism - renewal and blossoming - as a metaphor for freedom and rebirth, without directly mentioning the Resurrection.
What is the meaning behind Easter eggs and the Easter Bunny?
Eggs have long symbolized new life and rebirth, making them a natural emblem for the resurrection, while the Easter Bunny traces back to European folk tradition, particularly German lore associating hares with springtime fertility. Neither tradition is in the Bible, but both have become widely loved parts of the season's festivities.
Where can I find something more personal to send someone for Easter?
For a warmer, direct greeting rather than a standalone quote, the Easter wishes collection is built for that purpose, and if you'd rather share something reflective and prayer-focused, see Easter prayers.
How do Christians typically observe Easter Sunday?
Many attend a special sunrise or morning church service, followed by a festive family meal, and take the day to reflect on themes of renewal and hope, often exchanging joyful Wishes and Quotes with loved ones.
What is the significance of Lent and Holy Week leading up to Easter?
Lent is a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and reflection observed in the weeks before Easter, culminating in Holy Week, which includes the solemn remembrance of Good Friday before giving way to Easter Sunday's celebration. Many use this reflective period to share meaningful Prayers with family.
