The holy day of Easter falls early this year (March 31!). That means all our plans, from Easter egg hunts to Easter treat bake-a-thons to Easter basket brainstorming, are on an accelerated schedule. Still, we must make time to reflect on the significance of the season. These short and inspirational Easter quotes are a great place to start.
Share these traditional sayings with family and friends on social media, jot them down on Easter cards, or even read them aloud during Easter dinner to help spread the message. These words from famous authors, religious figures, and others will set the right tone for your Easter brunch, and they'll help explain the importance of the holiday to younger members of the family.
