Easter was celebrated with fervor at the Sacred Heart Church in Udaiyarpatti, Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu, where thousands of Christians gathered for special prayers and Mass. The ceremony featured the sharing of candles among worshippers, symbolizing hope, faith, and renewal, as they renewed their baptismal vows. Easter is a significant festival in Christianity, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. The Lenten period, lasting 40 days, began on February 18 this year, leading up to Easter, which follows Holy Week, a time of reflection on the sufferings of Jesus. The celebrations at the church included a special sermon by Parish Priest Michael Rasu and pastoral worker Rajesh, concluding with a spiritually uplifting Holy Mass attended by many devotees.
