I know that all the Orthodox and Catholic Christians celebrate Easter today. I am wondering if the Protestants celebrate it today as well. And do they celebrate it at all? I am not sure because as far as I know they refuse Catholic saints, traditions, etc.

Hmm, not very well read on the other religions, are you? Baptists, which are a form of protestantism, accept saints, but, we're not going to think that they have anything to do with our salvation, with the exceptions of the ones who penned the bible down for us.. Only Jesus brings salvation, all the saints, and that includes the Virgin Mary, are tools to help us find Jesus... nobody can intercede with the Father, nor can the Virgin intercede with Jesus, on our behalf.

Easter to all Christians is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yes of curse Protestants celebrate Easter. Easter represents the fulfilment of the promise that is the FOUNDATION of all christianity. The saints and traditions are all man made elements of organized religion. The birth from a virgin and the resurrection of Jesus Christ are the two beliefs that are the foundation of the Christian faith. There is a difference between religion and Christianity.
Happy Easter :)

Of course Protestants celebrate Easter! It has nothing to do with refusal of saints, etc. We believe in Jesus and God. If you did the smallest amount of research you'd know this!

Yes, they do. I don't know of a Christian denomination that doesn't. You might want to read up on other denominations.
