New Delhi, April 18 -- Easter, one of the most significant events in the Christian calendar, will be observed this year on April 20. For more than two millennia, this day has been marked by Christians across the world as the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection, three days after his crucifixion. It is a festival of profound faith, renewal, and spiritual victory, and its message continues to inspire hope amid darkness for millions globally and in India.
