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.
