Happy Easter

Easter is just around the corner, bringing with it some of our favorite things about the approaching season: bountiful brunch recipes, Easter Bible verses, and the chance to gather with beloved friends and family members. But what can you do to share even more joy?

Here, we've compiled the best Easter wishes and messages so that you can spread the meaning and beauty of the holiday to all your friends and family members. Especially if you aren’t able to gather with your loved ones in person this Easter, there's bound to be at least one message or Easter quote on our list that will make their holiday special all the same.

Hoping to wish your son or daughter a happy Easter? Skim through our best Easter wishes for kids to find the perfect sweet saying or funny Easter joke (they're nearly as cute as our favorite Easter Instagram captions). And if you want to really delve into the true meaning of the holiday, try out one of our religious Easter wishes. (Don't forget to check out our best Easter prayers, too!)

Just remember: As always, it's the thought that counts. Happy Easter!
