We will celebrate the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior on Easter Sunday, April 5. For Christians, the resurrection is the foundation of the Christian faith.
Alleluia! Christ is risen.
The words of the angel in the tomb offer us joy, peace and hope this Easter. The bright light of the Paschal Candle will burn for 50 days as we observe the Easter season.
In Bessemer, throughout the United States and the rest of the world, over two billion Christians will observe Easter and the ancient promise of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus’s crucifixion in Jerusalem in 33 A.D. was the beginning of Christianity. Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire 300 years after the death of Jesus.
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
People around the world observe Easter in many unique ways. From Ireland, to England, Italy, Canada, Australia and France, the Sunday of the Resurrection is proclaimed.
Wishing you joyful Eastertide
