AIZAWL, April 17 (PTI): Easter Sunday, which marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind, was celebrated across Christian-majority Mizoram in the usual festive spirit after it was observed in a low-key manner in the last two years due to coronavirus-induced restrictions.
The celebrations began on Saturday night with Catholic Church members holding Easter vigil.
Sunrise services were organised by the youth wings of both the Presbyterian and the Baptist Churches in their respective local churches.
