Various Christian denominations like the Roman Catholic Church, Presbyterian Church, Church of God and Baptist Church arranged special programmes like sunrise service, Easter Sunday sermons and choirs to mark the day.
Christians believe that the resurrection of Jesus was a sign of victory over sin and death.
Greeting the people of the state on the occasion, Governor Dr K K Paul said, "Easter inspires people all over the world to imbibe the spirit of sacrifice and forgiveness. It is a festival of hope celebrating the resurrection of Christ."
On Friday, faithfuls all over the state observed Good Friday to mark the death of Jesus on the cross to save mankind, as per Christian belief.
The day was observed with solemnity and prayers with special sermons on salvation and partaking in the 'Lord's Supper'. Easter is the central feast in the Christian liturgical year.
