Recently, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have released videos for Easter and Christmas that share the light and love of Christ. Their most recent video, “Because He Lives,” has reached millions of viewers all over the world.
This year’s Easter video surpassed last year’s Easter video by five times the number of viewers. “Because He Lives” averaged more than 3.2 million views each day, making the total number of views nearly 30 million, according to Mormon Newsroom. On Easter day alone, 329 million people viewed the video.
