EASTER CELEBRATION-2009




EASTER CELEBRATION-2009

Christians across the world celebrated Easter Sunday (12-04-2009) by attending church very early in the morning and ending the period of Lent with a sumptuous traditional breakfast. Churches serve a piece of cake made of egg and milk to end the 50 day Lent period during which most people forgo non- vegetarian food. In orthodox churches Easter Ceremonies began with mid night prayer on Saturday.
After Easter mass devotees reach home for special breakfast which includes the traditional ‘ appam’ made out of rice powder and mixed with a rice powder and mixed with a fresh toddy or yeast. The other delicacies include baked bananas, egg curry and stew made with either mutton or chicken.
Easter, marking the culmination of the Holy week was celebrated in the world on Sunday, 12 th April 2009. The faithful turned out in large numbers to attend the special Easter service at parumala church. The Easter service began around 10.30 p.m on Saturday and continued till early Sunday morning. The faithful took out a procession commemorating the resurrection of Christ.
Prof John Kurakar
