Lahore: Like everywhere in the world, the Christian community in Pakistan is celebrating their annual religious festival of Easter today. 

Easter Sunday is one of the most festive events among Christians worldwide which commemorates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from death, according to the Bible. The followers of Christ believe Jesus was resurrected in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.

Easter Sunday also precedes special preparations by people from different age groups including men, women, and children. Special services are hosted at different places across the country where the believers attend prayers for salvation, and for the progress and prosperity of Pakistan.

Police have made special security arrangements across the country to provide security cover to minority communities during their special prayers.
