Easter celebration

As a out of class activity , I went to a catholic church in Petersburg during Easter and  I was amazed by the number of people that showed up. I frequently go to that church (I mean about most Sundays). It's usually empty but that day it was so full that people were standing up by the door. It showed how many people do actually consider Easter as a celebration and it makes me happy because I see how many people pay attention to the religious world. it seemed as if it was Christmas but nope they were just celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ form the dead which according to the new testament occurred 3 days after his Crucifixion by the roman in calvary.
