40 Easter quotes for 2025 Brent Darby

First published by Country Living US.

Easter (and the extra-long bank holiday weekend it entails) is almost here. As we make plans for egg hunts and Easter decorations, don't forget to slow down and remember the true meaning of the holiday. To help with that, we rounded up 40 short and uplifting Easter quotes.

Some of these quotes are Easter Bible verses, others have been said by religious leaders or song writers (or are Easter prayers), and others are not religious at all but simply celebrate the season.

All make great Easter social media captions to go with the cute photos you take of your family in their colourful Easter attire.

You can also select ones you like as Easter wishes and messages to share in cards for loved ones. All of them come on images that are fun to share with kids and adults alike.

Now for those Easter quotes to go with all the eggs and pastels this season...
