This sacred day commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a central event in the Christian faith. For believers, Easter represents the victory of life over death of light over darkness. It is a time of rejoicing, renewal and hope, symbolized by the rich and varied traditions that surround this feast. The Holy Week preceding Easter is marked by intense religious rituals, such as the Palm Sunday Mass, the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, the Passion of Christ on Good Friday and, finally, the Mass of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
