Mangalore: Easter Celebrations Observed with Gusto in City


Mangalore: Easter Celebrations Observed with Gusto in City
Daijiworld Media Network—Mangalore (CN)

Mangalore, Apr 3: Christians across the twin districts of Udupi and Dakshina Kannada gathered in their respective parishes to celebrate Easter, one of their greatest feasts on Saturday April 3. 

The joy of the resurrection of Jesus Christ was celebrated with gusto in the city with Easter Vigil Masses in all the churches.
























































After the meaningful ceremonies of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, a majority of the churches began their ceremonies at 7.30 pm.

The candlelight ceremonies which included the blessing of the Pascal candle and blessing of fire and holy water was held with great devotion. The church organ, which in the Lenten season, was silent was enlivened by the angelic choirs on Easter night.

    Beautiful pictures of the Easter
    Celebrations. Thanks to the Daijiworld for the coverage.

    The first day of the week, Mary
    Magdalene and the disciples went to
    the grave, and after a little search, they went back to their
    homes. " But Mary stood without at
    the sepulchre weeping: as she wept
    she stooped down, and looked into the sepulture..... St John 20:11-20.

    God came down to the earth and
    took the form of a human being,
    lived with them, died for their
    sins, and rose again. In this age
    of high suicide and drug culture,
    anybody who has hope and trust
    in the risen Lord has a solid
    foundation to stand on and to
    look for a better day by trusting
    His everlasting love and promises.

    Let this Easter be a new day
    for every crying person to have a
    new start in life through the
    faith in the Living JESUS CHRIST.
    That is my earnest wish and
    prayers for you all. We can
    shout because Jesus is risen
    and living today. Let Him be the
    Lord of your life, to have the
    most delightful and abundant life
    on this earth.
