What’s the Big Deal about Easter?

That means that, today, millions and millions of people (like you and me) are sitting in crowded churches, beside family, friends and even strangers, singing songs, praying, and listening to sermons. But why do people do this? What is the big deal about Easter, anyway? The big deal is this…
