Taking to social media platform X, the Prime Minister conveyed his heartfelt wishes, emphasizing the deeper spiritual significance of the festival this year.
“Wishing everyone a blessed and joyous Easter,” the Prime Minister wrote. “This Easter is special because world over, the Jubilee Year is being observed with immense fervour. May this sacred occasion inspire hope, renewal and compassion in every person. May there be joy and harmony all around.”
Easter, a prominent Christian festival, commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and symbolizes the triumph of life over death, hope over despair, and light over darkness. It is a time when families and communities come together in celebration, reflection, and prayer. The Prime Minister’s message resonated with millions of citizens and people of faith around the world, particularly as this year’s Easter aligns with the global observance of the Jubilee Year.
The Jubilee Year is considered a time of spiritual renewal, forgiveness, and mercy in Christian tradition, often marked by pilgrimages, prayer services, and acts of compassion. By highlighting this connection, PM Modi recognized the global spiritual significance and encouraged citizens to embrace the core values of the festival—compassion, empathy, and unity.
His message comes at a time when the world continues to navigate various challenges, from global conflicts to environmental concerns, and serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining faith, kindness, and human solidarity.
The Prime Minister’s call for universal joy, harmony, and compassion aligns with his broader vision of promoting peace and inclusive development. Leaders across religious communities and political lines have welcomed the message, appreciating the spirit of interfaith harmony it fosters.
Easter 2025, marked by church services, community gatherings, and acts of kindness, is also being celebrated across India with vibrant cultural expressions and peaceful observances. Citizens from diverse backgrounds are participating in the celebrations, reflecting the unity in diversity that defines the spirit of the nation.
