Easter Sunday observed in Mizoram

Aizawl, Apr 9 : Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the death, after his crucifixion to save mankind from eternal death, was celebrated with reverence and happiness in the Christian-dominated Mizoram state today.

The Salvation Army musical bands roamed Aizawl streets and also in other towns and played 'He's arisen' to wake the devotees from their slumber early in the morning to mark the beginning of the Easter.

The Presbyterian Church and the Baptist Church observed the day with sermons on resurrection of Christ like 'The power of resurrection' and "God has resurrected Him' in all the local houses of worship, by priests.

Members of the Catholic Church in all the parishes participated in holy mass and community feasts in many parishes and the night would be for 'Adoration' and 'Benediction'. Colourful Easter eggs were distributed to the children by all the churches in their respective units.
