Christians around the world will celebrate Easter Sunday to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ, thus bringing an end to the Holy Week and the season of Lent. The Holy Week began with Palm Sunday, during which Christians commemorated the last few days of Jesus Christ on Earth.
While Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus and his suffering, Easter marks his resurrection.
