Incidentally, according to the followers of this religion, ‘on this day, Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity, was resurrected from the dead. On Good Friday, the misguided Jews crucified him and killed him. He rose from the dead on the third day of his death, that is, on Sunday. Jesus, having conquered death, returned to humanity.’

The main foundation of the Christian faith is the life-giving and glorious resurrection of Jesus on the cross. The main message of Easter Sunday or the Resurrection Day of Jesus is to dedicate one’s life to the service of humanity and move forward on the path of truth and beauty. This news of resurrection is very joyful and very significant for Christians.

Rev. Bishop Zaker ALi Shuva, General Secretary of Bangladesh Christian Association Kushtia District Branch, while wishing a happy Easter Sunday, said, “May our journey from darkness to light, may everyone spend the day in the light of resurrection.” This festival reminds people of the great occasion of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. May all people be inspired by the ideal of Jesus sacrificing his life for the benefit of humanity and rising from death again. This is our expectation on Easter Sunday. Warm greetings to all Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, and Christians on the occasion of the festival of light, the resurrection of Jesus. Happy Resurrection, Happy Easter.
