Easter Day stands as the most significant feast in the Christian calendar, marking The Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the triumph of life over death. In St James’ the day begins with a Festal Eucharist, where the congregation is greeted with the joyful proclamation: “Alleluia. Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia!” Bells ring out and hymns of praise fill the air, expressing the glory and hope brought by the risen Lord.

The liturgy includes readings from the Bible which includes the Gospel acclamation, “I am the first and the last, says the Lord, and the living one; I was dead, and behold I am alive for evermore.”

These words remind the faithful of the central mystery of Easter: the resurrection is not just a historical event, but a living reality that transforms every believer.
