Commemorating Easter 2025.

89(R) HR 1017 - Enrolled version - Bill Text

H.R. No. 1017

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, People around the globe are gathering on April 20,

2025, to celebrate Easter, a holy day of great meaning in the

Christian faith; and

WHEREAS, Easter commemorates the day that Jesus Christ of

Nazareth was raised from the dead after being crucified on Calvary;

Christians everywhere reflect on the gospel's enduring message of

rebirth, living hope, and eternal life; and

WHEREAS, In the weeks before the sacred event, many observe a

40-day period of fasting and prayer known as Lent; Holy Week then

commemorates Christ's final days on earth; his crucifixion is

remembered solemnly on Good Friday followed by the triumphant

celebration of his resurrection on Easter Sunday; and

WHEREAS, Families and loved ones come 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 two millennia, 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 89th Texas

Legislature hereby commemorate Easter 2025.
