Christians around the world are celebrating the 2021 edition of Easter.
Easter is one of the important festivals on the Christian calender. Also referred to as Pascha or Resurrection Sunday, Easter is used for commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, something which the New Testament says occurred on the third day after his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD.
