Easter Sunday Celebration at Kemmannu Church.

Kemmannu April 20, 2019: : Easter Sunday was celebrated at Kemmannu church with the traditional enthusiasm and deep faith  associated with the holy day.

Parish Priest Fr. Victor D Souza led the ceremony which included lighting the Easter Candle, blessing the water and the high mass.

Large number of parishioners attended the 2 hours ceremony with deep faith and later shared the joy associated with the festival by exchanging greetings.

On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches.

Christians believe, according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus.
