Christians worldwide celebrated Easter Sunday, marking the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion.

Easter concludes Lent and a Holy Week filled with significant events. Pope Leo XIV held mass in St Peter's Square.

The Resurrection is a central doctrine of Christianity and forms the basis of salvation and the hope of eternal life. Easter is a joyful affirmation of the belief that through Christ’s conquering of death all Christians will subsequently share in his victory over “sin, death, and the Devil.”
