Christ is risen! Alleluia! Churches around the world ring with this greeting today, Easter Sunday. This shared proclamation binds communities across generations and continents in a common hope.

Easter Sunday is the most significant and transformative day in the Christian calendar. It is the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, three days after his crucifixion.

More than just the end of Holy Week, Easter is the dawn of a new beginning. It marks the ultimate victory of life over death, hope over despair, and love over sin. Its message is as relevant today as it was over 2,000 years ago — a reminder that no night is too dark for the morning light to break through.

The Resurrection of Jesus is not only the cornerstone of Christian faith; it is also a universal symbol of renewal and rebirth. When the women arrived at the tomb and found it empty, it was not just the absence of a body that mattered — it was the presence of a promise fulfilled.
