Easter is a major holiday in the Christian faith, the Sunday which is when Christians celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection on the third day after being crucified.

The day is known for both secular and religious celebrations, from Easter egg rolls, candy for children and retail sales, to worship services, processions, and pilgrimages to the Holy Land.

In recent decades, presidents of the United States have made it a tradition to issue messages in commemoration of the special holy day, focusing on the resurrection and other aspects.

Here are six statements issued by recent presidents in celebration of Easter, with some of these messages being released during or shortly after times of upheaval and uncertainty.
