There's nothing sweeter than getting to spend time with your loved ones on Easter. Even the busy members of the Drummond family make it a point to get together on that holy Sunday year after year! (The photos are always so fun, too.) Though, before you head into the thick of the holiday, it's pivotal that you remember the reason you even celebrate it. This list of Easter quotes does just that, and they'll inspire a moment of reflection as you dive into your holiday activities and Easter brunch.

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!
