Easter Sunday
Reading Comprehension Exercise
Easter Sunday is a happy day. On Easter Sunday, Jesus' friends learned that
he was alive again. They went to the cave where Jesus had been buried. The
huge rock that had blocked the door of the cave was rolled away. The cave was
empty.
Then they saw an angel. The angel told them, "Jesus is not here. He has risen
just like He promised!" Jesus was alive again. His friends were very happy.
Some of His friends did not believe that Jesus had really come back to life.
They did not believe until He came to see them. Then they were happy too.
Jesus promised that everyone who believed on Him would someday live with
Him. Many Christians celebrate that promise by going to church on Easter
Sunday. Some go very early when the sun is coming up. Others go later in the
day. Many people wear their best clothes. The churches are full of flowers. The
people sing joyful hymns. They remember the story of the resurrection. Then,
they go home to celebrate with family or friends.

Good Friday
Reading Comprehension Exercise
Many years ago Jesus died on Good Friday. His friends and followers were very
sad. They thought they would never see Jesus again.
Why is this sad day called "good"? For many years, it was called "God's Friday."
God's Friday sounds similar to Good Friday. This may be the way that Good
Friday got its name. In other countries, this day is called Silent Friday or Holy
Friday.
Some Christians go to church on Good Friday. They may have parades. These
parades are very sad. People march through the streets while it is still dark and
sing sad songs. They talk about Jesus' death.
Other Christians celebrate Good Friday in a different way. Instead of singing
sad songs, they sing praise songs to thank Jesus for dying for them.
