Massive turnout in North Kerala churches
Christians in Kerala celebrated Easter Sunday to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The festival signalled the end of a season of renunciation, prayer, and contemplation on the messiah's suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection.
Churches of various denominations held special prayers to celebrate the season of revival and new beginnings.
Easter also marked a return to the world of family togetherness, feasting and rejoicing after the gloomy COVID-19 pandemic years.
The holy week that culminated with Easter festivities had dovetailed with Vishu, the spring harvest festival that also held the message of hope and rejuvenation.
Solemn prayers and processions that enacted Christs's suffering on the cross and resurrection had characterised the Holy Week.
