Easter 2024: Easter is a significant Christian festival that marks Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead- an event which occurred three days after his crucifixion. It is the culmination of Holy Week, that began with Palm Sunday. During the Holy Week, Christians observe Palm Sunday, signifying Jesus's arrival in Jerusalem on a donkey. This is followed by Maundy Thursday, representing the Last Supper, and then Good Friday as a day of mourning. Finally, Easter Sunday is celebrated as Jesus's resurrection, with references in the Bible to an empty tomb that was visited by Mary Magdalene and Jesus's disciples.
In India, Christians attend either midnight mass or morning mass, followed by a feast with family and friends, breaking their Lent fast on Easter. Here are some wishes and messages that you can share with your loved ones to celebrate this day.
