Tamil Christians celebrate Resurrection Sunday

Easter Sunday was celebrated by Christians across the North-East today.

More commonly known in Tamil as Resurrection Sunday, the holiday commemorates the day Christians believe Jesus Christ arose from the dead, on the third day after his crucifixion.

The day was marked in Jaffna with a service at the historic St James’s Church in Gurunagar, followed by a procession.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
