Christians celebrating Easter today

Christians celebrating Easter today ISLAMABAD: The Christian community is celebrating Easter today (April 24) at all the churches across the country. 

Easter Sunday is typically the most well attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches as the Christian community holds prayers and special ceremonies to mark the Easter week.

The Friday before Easter Sunday is observed as a mourning day that lord died on Good Friday while Easter Sunday is celebrated as 'Jesus resurrected on Easter Sunday.

Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. His resurrection is celebrated on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday).

Easter marks the end of Lent; a 40-day period of fasting and the last week of the Lent is called Holy Week, which contains Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus.

Easter is followed by 50-day period, called Eastertide or the Easter Season ending with Pentecost Sunday. Easter is a moveable feast, as it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar.

It occurs during the spring, in March or April; the method for determining the date of Easter Sunday is complex, based on lunisolar calendar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world, but decorating Easter eggs is a common motif.

In the Western world, customs such as egg hunting and Easter Bunny extend from the domain of church, and often have a secular character.
