Easter Celebration in India
Easter is an important holiday for Christians around the world, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But did you know that Easter is also celebrated in India? Although India is predominantly a Hindu country, there is a significant Christian minority, making up about 2.3% of the population. These communities, primarily found in the south and northeast of India, celebrate Easter as an important religious holiday. The origins of Christianity in India date back to the 1st century, when the Apostle Thomas preached in southern India. Today, Christians in India belong to various churches, including the Roman Catholic Church, the Syro-Malabar Church, and the Syro-Malankara Church.
Traditions and customs
While Easter in India is generally celebrated similarly to other countries, there are some unique customs and traditions specific to the country. For example, in Kerala, a state in southern India, there is a traditional procession called “Easter Kanjeevaram,” where believers, dressed in traditional attire, walk through the streets and distribute sweet puddings to the poor and needy. Overall, the celebration of Easter in India reflects the country’s diversity and the people’s ability to respect and honor different cultures and traditions. Although a small part of the population celebrates Easter, the significance of this holiday is just as important for these communities as it is for Christians around the world.
