It might seem silly to ask this question but for spare time.
I don’t get why we celebrate it also known as Easter were everyone is happy… On jesus death?
Or did he really not die on that day?
Jesus died on ‘Good Friday’ and was resurrected on Easter Sunday, therefore Easter is a time of rejoicing. His death is not celebrated but memorialized in the Good Friday services of the Catholic and some other Christian churches.

I believe it’s actually the Resurrection they’re celebrating, not His death.
Why do I celebrate it? I like candy.

It’s not His death that we celebrate but His resurrection. Through His resurrection He conquered death and opened up the way to salvation and eternal life for those who will believe in His name.

Hi, Jesus resurected from the dead and thus was victorious over the forces of evil. He died for man’s sins and rose from the dead.

We celebrate the death of Jesus, because if he didn’t die, our sins would never be paid for and we would burn in Hell. Its oxymoronic, but without his death, there would be no hope of getting to Heaven.

He is the only way to heaven, or do you not want to go to Heaven? God is perfect, we are not. Jesus is the mediator between God and us. God loves us so much that He provided a way to Him through the death of His Son. All you have to do is agree on it.

I think that the death of jesus is remembered on Good Friday. It is a day of solemn church services and people tend to wear dark colors, as though at a funeral.
Easter is a celebration to christians because it is perceived that this is the day that jesus rose from the dead. They are celebrating the resurrection of jesus, not his death, but his "triumph" over death.

we are celebrating the resurrection, not the death. Although I do wonder why people wear crosses. If he had died in the middle ages would people wear a guillotine? If he had died now, would they wear an electric chair? …a noose?

He died that we might live forever, went to hell and gave the dead the chance to believe in Him, then arose from the dead on the third day and went to heaven to sittith on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, and intercede for you if you believe in Him.

I’ve always wondered why the day of Jesus’ death was called Good Friday. It would seem that Easter should be called Good Sunday, instead. But, then again, no one really knows if those were the days that Jesus died and was resurrected. That’s just the belief of the Catholic Church.

Easter is set by the first full moon after the vernal equinox. This is the one day in the year when day and night are roughly equal!
It varies by more than a month over the years and so it simply cannot represent the date of anyone’s death!!!
It is in fact a combination of several pagan festivals most notably the spring festival.
The name Easter comes from “Eastre” an Anglo-Saxon pagan goddess. Also the Norse goddess,Ostara who took her name from the Teutonic lunar goddess Eostre
Even the Chinese have the festival of Ching Ming where flowers and sweets are put on their ancestors graves!!
The egg and the rabbit are symbols of springtime and rebirth along with the custom of giving flowers etc!!
The Venerable Bede, an early Christian writer pointed out that the Christian church absorbed Pagan practices when it found the population unwilling to give up the festivals. Thus a lot of what Christians now see as Christians practices are in fact pagan!!!
Fun to watch the Christians worshiping a pagan festival though – makes it just like Christmas when they do the same thing!!!
