Easter is the most significant festival in Christianity, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion. It represents victory over sin and death, offering believers the promise of eternal life. Following a 40-day period of Lent — a time of prayer, fasting, and penance — Easter Sunday celebrates spiritual renewal and faith.
The day is also marked by traditions such as chocolate eggs, lambs, and bunnies, though these customs are distinct from the religious observance of Christ’s resurrection. People gather in churches across India to offer prayers, reflecting the solemnity and joy of the occasion.
In Kerala, locals enjoy a special Easter feast, including regional dishes like Appams and Vattayappams, highlighting the cultural diversity of Easter celebrations across the country.
This year’s Easter is especially significant as it coincides with the Jubilee Year, observed with fervour around the world. It is a time for reflection, renewal, and the celebration of compassion.
