All Christians in the world kicked off celebrations to mark the death, resurrection and ascension to heaven this weekend, beginning with Good Friday when Jesus was crucified according to the holy scriptures.
Easter Sunday is the day when the son of God resurrected from the dead before he ascended to heaven and it’s regarded as one of the most important days on the Christian calendar.

I call upon everyone of them to celebrate carefully with calm and peace as we share the joy of Christ’s victory against pain, evil and temptations,” he said.
“We should endeavor to emulate Christ in our day to day conduct through acts of kindness, forgiveness of one another and repentence while remembering that our Lord lives in heaven.”
