Accra, April 8, GNA – Christians in Ghana on Sunday joined their colleagues across the world to celebrate Easter, the resurrection of Christ, which is one of the key pillars of the Christian faith. Easter is the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his death by crucifixion and is celebrated with joy, happiness, festivities and prayers. The day started at dawn when Christians symbolically went to the cemetery to visit the grave of Jesus, as some women did after Jesus’ burial.
They sang songs of joy, drummed and danced to announce the resurrection of Jesus.
This was followed by church services where Christians dressed in white, a sign of victory, drummed, danced, praised God and prayed.
