Global And Local Observances

Easter, also known as Resurrection Sunday, is one of the most significant festivals in Christianity.

It commemorates the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after his crucifixion, a pivotal event in the New Testament.

Celebrated by Christians across the globe, the day is observed through Easter Masses, community gatherings, and traditions like Easter egg hunts and festive meals.

The Religious Significance Of Easter

According to Christian tradition, Roman authorities arrested Jesus and crucified him on Good Friday for claiming to be the ‘Son of God’.

His resurrection, believed to have occurred three days later, is seen as the ultimate victory of life over death and good over evil.

Furthermore, Easter marks the culmination of the 40-day Lent season, a time dedicated to prayer, penance, and fasting.

The celebration also shares thematic ties with the Jewish festival of Passover, both symbolising liberation and spiritual renewal.

A Celebration Of Life And Faith

In essence, Easter remains a deeply spiritual and widely celebrated occasion, bringing together people of faith in a shared message of love, redemption, and new beginnings.

As leaders across the political spectrum shared their wishes, the day stood as a reminder of the enduring relevance of compassion and truth in today’s world.
