In pictures: Christians celebrate Easter around the world

by Premier Journalist

Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It symbolises hope, renewal, and the triumph of life over death.

For believers, it represents the promise of salvation and eternal life through Jesus' sacrifice. 

To celebrate it, Christians have attended services across the world.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
