Easter marks the Sunday dinner of all Sunday dinners—for more reasons than one! For starters, it's an annual opportunity to spend quality time with your loved ones. Even the busiest members of the Drummond family make it a priority to gather every year on that special Sunday. (And the photos are always flowing, too.) But aside from the roast lamb and egg hunts, Easter holds a deeper meaning that sets it apart from any old Sunday. So, before you start filling your baskets, take a minute to read these Easter quotes to set the tone for the spring holiday.

These uplifting quotes are sweet, humorous, and act as a reminder of God's love and the beauty of second chances. Some of the Easter wishes on this list might be new to you, but other messages and Easter movie quotes might ring familiar in your head! Either way, they all do a great job of relaying the true message of the holiday. This quote by Robert Flatt is a good example: “If Easter says anything to us today, it says this: You can put truth in a grave but it won’t stay there.” Some are short and simple enough to act as an Easter Instagram caption! This quote by Luther Burbank says it all: “Spring adds new life and new joy to all that is.” Read the rest of these best Easter quotes below!
