Description
Living Easter will help you fulfill the vision of St. John Paul II, who said, “We are an Easter people, and Alleluia is our song!” This beautifully revised and expanded volume is an updated edition of Risen, originally published in 2019, refreshed to invite a new generation into the joy of the Resurrection.
As the most significant season of the Church year, Easter deserves to be lived well and celebrated fully, and few voices speak more compellingly about Christian joy than Laura Kelly Fanucci, celebrated author and creator of The Holy Labor newsletter and the Mothering Spirit platform. “Living Easter celebrates joy itself as our Resurrection practice,” Fanucci writes. “Taking up joy as a daily discipline teaches us about feasting as a companion practice to fasting: an intentional sacred act that draws us closer to God."
With a stunning design, Living Easter invites you to embrace the Resurrection as a living reality, guiding you through fifty days of scripture, reflection, prayer, and action. With warmth and joy, Fanucci shows how to celebrate Easter with this simple, easy-to-follow daily companion—just open to the day’s reading and reflection, no preparation required.
- Read a passage from the gospels or Acts of the Apostles about Jesus’s Resurrection.
- Ponder a thoughtful reflection that will change the way you think about these foundational stories.
- Follow a heartfelt and brief prayer prompt.
- Take up a daily call-to-action, ranging from ideas for what you might eat or wear during Easter to lively ways that you can practice joy in your interactions with others.
Each week ends with a longer essay, which breaks open the experiences of Jesus’s mother, Mary, and the bewildered disciples, beholding the wonder of Christ’s first appearances after his death and burial.
These pages offer a worthy home for your margin notes, questions, and insights as you return year after year to reflect on the central stories of our Christian faith. Beautifully designed to be treasured and passed down, this heirloom book invites both your personal reflection and the shared wisdom of generations. Whether engaged in solitary meditation or shared in a group study, it will form your mind, heart, and soul in the abundance of the One whose love broke open the grave.

- RARuth A. P.Verified Buyer10 hours agoRated 5 out of 5 starsLiving Easter
I have always struggled with trying live intentional Easter Joy during the 50 days of Easter. This book is helping me accomplish that. It is a wonderful book with profound yet easy to understand reflections. Every day has nuggets of wisdom and wonder. It is a perfect addition to my daily prayers and tops it off with doable actions. I am truly grateful for this book.
- BLBarbara L.Verified BuyerYesterdayRated 5 out of 5 starsLiving Easter
Laura Kelly Fanucci book is wonderful. The way she’s organized 50 days to practice resurrection is genius. Scripture, reflection, prayer and action for each day helps you learn, consider all Jesus did for us, followed with beautiful prayer and lastly, ways to incorporate what we take away into something meaningful and significant.
I’ve followed Laura for several years. Her writing come from a place where suffering & grief happened, yet accompanied with deep joy eventually. Laura is the real deal.

I have been reading this book every day of Easter this year and the inspiration has been wonderful. I am a person who sees what I’m reading like a movie, and I feel with my heart. This book is bringing me closer to the story Jesus’ life and more open to God’s plan for me. I feel more people should read this book so they can feel the presence of the Father,Son, Holy Spirit alive in their hearts and souls. God Bless

What a delightful book to guide me through the Easter Season. There are so many resources for the faithful during Lent but a serious lack of resources for the GREAT season that follows! Laura’s book will become a staple for my Easter journey in the years to come as it delivers everything the yearning soul could want: Gospel readings, reflections, prayer, and ways to move Faith into action! This book has really touched my soul and I am moving through the Easter Season with more motivation, intent, and inspiration than ever before. Thank you!
