Last updated: February 22, 2023
Send Happy Easter wishes to family and friends, whether they celebrate Christian traditions or simply enjoy gathering to indulge in some chocolate! In 2024, Easter Day takes place on March 31st. Easter is a time of renewal and new beginnings. It marks one of the most important celebrations in the Christian calendar and coincides with the coming of spring.
During Easter, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, three days after his death by crucifixion. Gifting eggs symbolizes "new beginnings" and the Easter bunny didn't hop into the scene until the 1700s, in Germany!
This holiday gives us an opportunity to reflect on and renew our faith. Wish your friends and family a very blessed Easter with one of our many Easter greetings, cute wishes for kids, spring quotes, egg-stra funny Happy Easter wishes, or send a beautiful bible verse with your Easter blessings.

How to Reply to Happy Easter Wishes
Sometimes people will send Happy Easter wishes to friends, coworkers, and loved ones who do not celebrate the holiday. For Christians, part of the Easter celebration is bonding with their community. When they reach out in this way, it's often a way of expressing goodwill and letting you know that they're thinking of you.
However, there are some people who don't celebrate and who would rather not disclose their beliefs or religious identity. In this case, a simple response can suffice, such as sending greetings to their family and wishing them a lovely celebration.
Thanks, Happy Easter to you too!
Thanks for the greeting. Would love to see you this Spring!
