"No matter what others believe or do, we should celebrate the resurrection of our Living Savior by studying His teachings and helping to establish Easter traditions in our society as a whole, especially within our own families. We challenge you to do so."

"As an example of such celebrations, we can be inspired by the Easter Sunday practice in some parts of the world where believers greet one another with a 3 word exclamation “He Is Risen!” The person so greeted responds with the same words: “He Is Risen!” - President Dallin H. Oaks
