roam (/b/ ROFLMAO) and whatnot, but more of the day in which Jesus rose from the dead!
For those of you unfamiliar with this, after Christ died on the cross for our sins and was buried in this seemingly unescapable tomb, He resurrected like He predicted and was epic win.
Uhm, the Biblical text may be clearer than I am...:
"thar wuz violent earthquaek, 4 an angel ov teh lord came down frum heaven an, goin 2 teh tomb, rolld bak teh stone an sat on it. his appearance wuz liek lightnin, an his clothez wuz wite as snow. teh guardz wuz so afraid ov him dat they shook an became liek ded doodz. teh angel sed 2 teh women, "do not be afraid, 4 i knoe dat u r lookin 4 jebus, hoo wuz crucifid. he iz not her; he has risen, jus as he sed. Come an c teh place wer he lay. den go quickly an tell his disciplez: he has risen frum teh ded an iz goin ahead ov u into galilee. Thar u will c him. Nao i has told u." so teh women hurrid away frum teh tomb, afraid yet filld wif joy, an ran 2 tell his disciplez. suddenly jesus met them! "greetings," he sed. They came 2 him, claspd his feet an worshipd him. den jesus sed 2 them, "do not be afraid. Go an tell mah brothers 2 go 2 galilee; thar they will c me." - Matthew 28, LOLCAT Bible (http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Matthew_28 )
LOL jk.
Here's the authentic reference:
2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." (Matthew 27 *from the NIV for sake of clarity)
What's really awesome is that after all this commotion, Jesus said,
"18...All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them ina]">the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28)

Cmon this is serious...
Easter isn't some jolly gleeful holiday...or it shouldn't be, considering it's roots and origins. You don't have to believe in religion, but you can at least give it a modicum of respect.
Considering it's when God on Earth rose from the grave after being nailed to a giant wooden stick, I'd say it has some level of glee to it.
Good Friday, on the other hand, is a misnomer.
Okay, it's cause for celebration, but not the kind of satirical, parody-ish glee.
