     Some people think Easter is about candy and the Easter bunny, but really, it's different! In Matthew 26,27, and 28, it talks about the REAL Easter story, like when Jesus was praying in  the garden of Gethsemane and the soldiers came and arrested Him and took Him before Pontious Pilate. Pontious Pilate asked Him questions and gave the crowd a choice whether they wanted Barrabbus or Jesus, they chose Barrabbus. Then the crowd was chanting: "Crucify Him, Crucify Him!" The soldiers then put a crown of thorns on His head and whipped His back and put a scarlet robe upon Him. Then they took Him to Golgotha and nailed Him to the cross between the two thieves. The people mocked Him and said "If you're the King of Israel, why don't you come down and we will believe you." One of the thieves got saved and Jesus said," I will see you in Heaven." Then Jesus died, and Joseph asked for His body and they placed His body in a tomb, and we call that day Resurection Day, or Easter. That is what Easter is really about. :)
