Easter finds its roots in the New Testament of the Bible, which narrates how Jesus was apprehended by Roman authorities for declaring himself the “Son of God”.
He was subsequently condemned to death by Roman Governor Pontius Pilate on Good Friday. The resurrection of Jesus, celebrated three days post-crucifixion, occurs on Easter Sunday.
According to the New Testament, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day following his burial after being crucified by the Romans at Calvary.
Easter also signifies the end of the 40-day Lent liturgical season, characterized by penance, prayer, and fasting. Additionally, Easter closely coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover.
