Fraternity - Celebrating Easter
Celebrating Easter as a Catholic is a profound and joyous occasion, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The day begins with the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night, where the Paschal candle is lit, symbolizing the light of Christ rising in glory. This is followed by the jubilant proclamation of "Alleluia" after a period of Lent marked by fasting, prayer, and penance. The faithful gather for Mass, adorned in festive attire, to participate in the Eucharist, singing hymns of praise and thanksgiving. Families often come together to share meals and exchange Easter eggs, symbolizing new life and rebirth, reflecting on the hope and renewal that Easter brings.
