R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, March 31, 2024, marks the celebration of Easter,
which is considered the most holy day of the year in the Christian
faith; and
WHEREAS, Known also as Resurrection Day, Easter is a time
when people around the globe recognize the day that Jesus Christ of
Nazareth was raised from the dead after crucifixion on Calvary and
three days in the tomb; Christ-followers everywhere reflect with
joy on the gospel's enduring message of rebirth, living hope, and
eternal life; and
WHEREAS, In the weeks before the sacred event, many
Christians observe a 40-day period of fasting and prayer, known as
Lent; Holy Week then commemorates Christ's final days on earth and
crucifixion by Roman authorities, remembered solemnly on Good
Friday and followed by rejoicing on Easter Sunday; and
WHEREAS, Families and loved ones gather 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 2,000 years, 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 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate Easter 2024.
