Christians will on Sunday, April 4, commemorate Easter Sunday, also called Pascha or Resurrection Sunday to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The New Testament reveals that, the resurrection Sunday occurred on the third day after His burial, following His crucifixion on Good Friday by the Romans at Calvary.
It is said that believers celebrate Jesus Christ’s defeat of death through His resurrection creating hope of salvation for humanity.
According to the Christian tradition, the death of Jesus Christ paid for the sins of humanity, while His resurrection symbolised believers’ anticipation of having their own resurrection.
Many Christians across the globe celebrate the day with special church services, candle light and ringing church bells.
