WHEREAS, People around the globe are gathering on April 20,
2025, to celebrate Easter, a holy day of great meaning in the
Christian faith; and
WHEREAS, Easter commemorates the day that Jesus Christ of
Nazareth was raised from the dead after being crucified on Calvary;
Christians everywhere reflect on the gospel's enduring message of
rebirth, living hope, and eternal life; and
WHEREAS, In the weeks before the sacred event, many observe a
40-day period of fasting and prayer known as Lent; Holy Week then
commemorates Christ's final days on earth; his crucifixion is
remembered solemnly on Good Friday followed by the triumphant
celebration of his resurrection on Easter Sunday; and
WHEREAS, Families and loved ones come together during this
special time to worship and to express gratitude for the miracle of
Christ's ascension; the festivities symbolize new life and hope for
the future, themes that parallel spring, the season in which Easter
falls; and
WHEREAS, Observed for over two millennia, Easter ushers in a
period of joy and renewal, signifying one of the most fundamental
pillars of faith for the Christian community, the resurrection of
Christ; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate Easter 2025.
