Easter is celebrated by the Christian community around the world to marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus Christ was resurrected by God marking the victory of good over evil. This year, Easter will be celebrated on 17 April with pomp and fervour.
According to the Bible, Easter is toasted on the third day after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by Romans that took place on Good Friday. This grand feast concludes the “Passion of Christ”, which began with a 40 days period of fasting – Lent.
A week before Easter is called the Holy week; it includes Maundy Thursday (celebration of Jesus’ last supper), Good Friday (crucifixion of Jesus Christ) and Holy Saturday (preparation for Easter Vigil).
Each year, devout Christians attend church services with family and friends followed by a scrumptious Easter lunch. The festival is also celebrated with cutely decorated Easter eggs, bunnies and cakes.
