Tap to roll away the stone

Easter

The stone is rolled away — new life, new light, new start.

The stone rolled back, the garden bright, the whole thing starting up again. May whatever you gave up for dead surprise you by coming back to life. Happy Easter! 🐣

Easter wishes with name, in one paragraph

By IndianWishes ·

A Easter wish with your name on it is an ordinary greeting card with one thing changed: it says who sent it. Type your name on this page and you get a card that opens with “Asha is wishing you Happy Easter” instead of a forward from nobody in particular. It is free, takes about ten seconds, and there is nothing to sign up for.

What Easter celebrated

Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after the crucifixion. It is the oldest and most important festival in the Christian calendar, and the whole church year is arranged around it.

When Easter falls

The first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox — so between 22 March and 25 April.

Most Indian festivals follow a lunar calendar, so the date moves against the Gregorian one each year. For the official dates, the Government of India holiday calendar is the one to check.

How Easter is celebrated

  • The Easter vigil on Saturday night, and sunrise services on Sunday morning
  • The greeting: “Christ is risen” — “He is risen indeed”
  • Decorated eggs, standing for the tomb and for new life
  • Breaking the Lenten fast with a proper family meal

Kerala, Goa, Mangalore, Tamil Nadu and the north-eastern states keep the largest celebrations in India.

What people say

Happy Easter, or “Christ is risen”.

Putting your name on it

  1. Type your name in the box on this page. First name is enough — no email, no password, no account.
  2. Tap GO. Your card opens with your name at the top, on artwork drawn for Easter specifically.
  3. Share it. One tap hands it to WhatsApp with the message already written. Whoever opens it lands on this same page with their own name box waiting, so it carries on down the family group without anyone installing anything.

Straight answers

Why does the date of Easter change every year?
It is set by the moon, not the calendar: the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox. That puts it between 22 March and 25 April.
What do Easter eggs represent?
New life, and the sealed tomb from which Christ emerged. Decorating and cracking them is an old symbol of the resurrection.
What is the connection between Lent and Easter?
Lent is the forty days of fasting and preparation before Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday. Easter Sunday ends it.
How do I send a Easter wish with my name on it?
Type your name in the box on this page and tap GO. You get a card that opens with your name on it, and a button that hands the whole thing to WhatsApp. It is free, and there is nothing to sign up for.
Is this Easter greeting really free?
Yes. No account, no watermark, no upgrade prompt and nothing to install. Your name travels inside the link rather than being stored anywhere.
