EASTER SUNDAY
Resurrection Sunday
April 9, 2023
Jesus has risen; God gives us eternal life in Jesus (the real treasure)
Easter is one of the principal holidays, or feasts, of Christianity. It marks the Ressurection of Jesus three days after his death by crucifixion. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful end to the Lenten season of fasting and penitence. Easter is the fulfilled prophecy of the Messiah who would be persecuted, die for our sins, and rise on the third day (Isaiah 53). remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin.
The main Easter day tradition is Salubong or "welcoming." It consists of two processions—men accompany the statue of the Risen Jesus, and still-sorrowful women follow the statue of the Virgin Mary until the mother and the son meet—this marks the start of the joyful celebration. Filipino Catholics on Sunday flocked to churches all over the country to celebrate Easter
