Easter which falls in April is a major religious festival for the Christians
in Kerala. This solemn celebration of the resurrection of Christ is undertaken
with religious fervour by Christians of all sects.
Unlike Christmas with its festive mood, Easter has a ritualistic sobriet.
The abstinence period of 50 days preceding Easter known as 'Lent', the Pal
Sunday celebrations, the Holy Week comprising Maundy Thursday, good Friday
and Easter, are all part of the celebrations.
