Why Easter is the main holiday of the year, The feast of the Holy Resurrection of Christ, Easter, is the main event of the year for Orthodox Christians and the biggest Orthodox holiday. The word "Easter" has come to us from the Greek language and means "transition", "deliverance". On this day we celebrate the deliverance through Christ the Savior of all mankind from slavery to the devil and giving us life and eternal bliss. As accomplished by Christ's death on the cross our redemption, so his Resurrection gave us eternal life. The Resurrection of Christ is the foundation and crown of our faith, it is the first and greatest the truth that the apostles began to preach.
