Let me begin by wishing you reading this article a Happy Easter!
Christians all over the world have chosen today 4th April to mark the Ressurection of Jesus Christ from the dead known as an Easter.
They believe that Christ died on the cross to redeem the world, and three days after his death he arose. The Easter celebration is ushered in by a series of events on a week known as Holy Week.
The biblical account of the Ressurection of Jesus Christ can be found in the Gospel of Luke 24.
