Summary "The First Easter" by J. H. Willard is an illustrated religious narrative written in the early 20th century.

It serves as a retelling of the Easter story, aimed at both children and families, providing a simplified yet poignant account of these biblical happenings. The narrative follows the final days of Jesus, starting from His miraculous acts and teachings, through His betrayal by Judas, trial, and crucifixion, ultimately culminating in His resurrection. The story highlights key moments such as Jesus's entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, and the appearance of angels at the empty tomb. Willard emphasizes themes of love, sacrifice, and hope, portraying the transformation from sorrow to joy as Jesus rises from the dead, affirming faith and redemption for His followers.
