President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have both extended their Easter greetings this year, emphasizing the themes of hope and compassion. In a post on X, President Murmu expressed, "Easter greetings to all! On this occasion, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This festival inspires the spirit of new hope and new beginnings. The teachings of Jesus Christ inspire humanity to follow the path of love and sacrifice. May this festival of joy and hope bring peace and prosperity to all."
Prime Minister Modi echoed these sentiments, wishing for harmony and compassion during this sacred time. He stated, "Wishing everyone a blessed and joyous Easter.

May there be joy and harmony all around."
Easter Sunday is a pivotal date in the Christian calendar, celebrated globally to honor the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is said to have occurred on the third day after his crucifixion. Unlike fixed-date holidays such as Christmas, Easter's date varies each year, determined by the lunar calendar. It is celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which typically falls between March 22 and April 25.
The week leading up to Easter, known as Holy Week, begins with Palm Sunday, during which Christians commemorate Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. This period culminates in Easter Sunday, celebrating the core belief of Christianity: the resurrection of Jesus, symbolizing victory over sin and death.
As communities prepare for this year's Easter celebrations, many are embracing traditions that reflect their cultural heritage. From sunrise services to festive meals, the diversity of practices around the world adds layers of meaning to the holiday. In some cultures, Easter is marked by communal gatherings, while in others, it involves quiet reflection and prayer.
In addition to the heartfelt messages and celebrations, Easter 2025 is also an opportunity for individuals to reflect on the deeper significance of the holiday. As the world faces various challenges, the messages of hope, renewal, and love resonate more than ever.
As the day approaches, many are sharing their favorite Easter quotes to inspire and uplift their loved ones. Some notable quotes include:
"Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life." - SD Gordon
"Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless." - Charles M. Crowe
"The great gift of Easter is hope." - Basil C. Hume
These quotes encapsulate the essence of Easter, reminding individuals of the transformative power of faith and the promise of new beginnings.
In summary, Easter 2025 is shaping up to be a vibrant celebration, with social media playing a central role in how people connect and share their experiences. As individuals and communities come together to honor the significance of the resurrection, the messages of love, hope, and renewal will undoubtedly resonate throughout the holiday.
