Easter is one of the most important days for Christians across the world as it marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ after he was crucified on Good Friday. This year Easter will be observed on April 4 (Sunday). Since the day marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is also known as Resurrection Sunday or Easter Sunday. It is part of the Holy Week that also includes Maundy Thursday when Jesus took the Last Supper.

According to the New Testament of the Bible, Easter is believed to have occurred three days after Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans and died in roughly 30 AD. Jesus was crucified on the day of Good Friday and buried in a grave after his last supper with his disciples, which is commemorated as Maundy Thursday. 

According to the Biblical story, after Jesus’ crucifixion, his body was wrapped in linen, and he was buried in the tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea. The tomb was then covered with a massive stone. It is also believed that on Sunday morning, angels rolled the stone away, and Jesus walked out of the tomb. To every Christian believer, the resurrection of Jesus symbolises his victory over sin and death. Across the world, services are held on Easter, and typically people sing hymns dedicated to the festival.
