In a few days from now, Christians from all over the world would be celebrating Easter which is a Christian feast in remembrance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his death. It is widely believed that Jesus, the Son of God was crucified and died on the cross about 1976 years ago at Golgota, Israel after the Pharisees and scribes delivered him to Pontius Pilate as a criminal. We are now in Holy week, the holiest week in Lent which is a period of 40 days fasting observed by the church faithful every year. Christ is known to have died on Friday(Good Friday) this week and is to rise on the first day of the week being Sunday and that day is regarded as Easter. How would you celebrate Easter this year.
"Now the year begins", some Christians would say.
