Ever since we were kids, Easter has always been celebrated with much aplomb. There's the Easter Mass, the jumping up and down, the Easter brunches, and of course, the Easter Egg hunts. So, it was really a celebration.
But even if you strip it to the barest minimum, (read: no parties or Easter egg hunts,) Easter is definitely worth celebrating. After all, this is the day that Our Lord and savior was resurrected.
And no other hymn captures this thought and lesson like Handel's Hallelujah Chorus.
For the lord God omnipotent reigneth.
The kingdom of this world;
is become
the kingdom of our Lord,
and of His Christ.
And He shall reign forever and ever.
Hallelujah.

With a promise like this, how can one not rejoice?
