MUMBAI: The miracle of the Risen Christ is an article of faith for the Christian community. All believers, young and old, are rejoicing as they celebrate Easter Sunday, the festival that marks His Resurrection from the grave, on April 9.
Festivities began after Easter Vigil mass Saturday night. Archbishop of Bombay, Oswald Cardinal Gracias led mass at Holy Name Cathedral. Fr Nigel Barrett, spokesperson for the archdiocese, said, "The Easter service invites the community to watch and wait as 'darkness changes to light'. Out of darkness and suffering comes the greatest triumph of all time, the resurrection of our Saviour Jesus Christ. We celebrate Jesus coming forth from the tomb, knowing that now we too can come forth from the darkness of sin in our life and share in the newness of life."
