Christians celebrate Easter at their home

Chandigarh, April 12

Amid the lockdown in the tricity, members of the Christian community celebrated Easter at their home. Priests prayed from their Churches for the entire community. They also prayed for the healing of Covid-19 sufferers in the entire world and for the peace and harmony in our country.

Sharing the importance of this day, All-Churches Council president Anil Masih said: “Easter is the most festive event of Christians celebrated all over the world. It signifies the remembrance of Jesus Christ resurrecting from death after his crucifixion as we’ve all read in the Bible”.

“Easter is celebrated in the joy of Lord Jesus being resurrected after the gruesome crucifixion and sacrifice he gave for his people. The devotees believe that Lord Jesus fought with death, defeated it and rose to glory from his grave on third day. It happened on a Sunday. So we celebrate Easter on a Sunday,” he said.

Churches are decorated and filled with cheer and joy during this time. But this year, all Christian community members stayed back at their homes for the prayers due to the Covid-19 pandemic. — TNS
