Easter is the most important festival in Christianity, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. It marks the culmination of Holy Week, which begins with Palm Sunday and includes Maundy Thursday and Good Friday before reaching Easter Sunday. According to Christian belief, Jesus was crucified and died on the cross, and his resurrection demonstrated his victory over sin and death and became the foundation of Christian faith and hope. Christians around the world attend special church services, prayers and worship celebrations, with many churches holding an Easter Vigil or midnight service before Easter Sunday. Homes and churches are decorated with flowers, and families gather for festive meals and exchange Easter greetings. In India, Easter is celebrated by Christian communities in places such as Kerala, Goa, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Mumbai and the Northeast, with traditions varying between Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox communities.
