Kerala gears up to celebrate Easter

Saturday, April 07, 2012: With just hours left for Easter, Christians across Kerala are geared up for the celebrations. The lent, involves a 50-day abstain from all non-vegetarian items including milk and curd, ends on Sunday with the Easter.
Easter is celebrated all over the world with piety and gaiety commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ after crucifixion. Senior bishops will give out the Easter message of promise and hope during the special church services and prayers in cathedrals and major churches across the state.
Coming after the Holy Week which recalls the final days of Christ leading to his arrest and crucifixion, Easter also marks the end of the season of Lent when devouts abstain from all worldly pleasures.
