After 2 years, Kolkata celebrates Easter with rally, prayers

KOLKATA: Christians in the city celebrated Easter on Sunday with prayers and an Easter rally from St Paul’s Cathedral to St James’ School ground, after a two-year pandemic-induced hiatus. The event was organised by the United Christians of Kolkata and culminated with a joint service at St James’ School ground.

During the event, the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Calcutta, Fr Dominic Gomes, was spotted playing the accordion for the masses from the back of an open-air truck along with other musicians. Fr Dominic had been attending the Easter Vigil ceremonies and Liturgy readings from the previous night until 6.30am, Easter morning, along with other priests.
