PETALING JAYA: There was a scenic atmosphere of solidarity and devotion at St Paul's Church here as hundreds of Roman Catholics came to attend the annual Easter mass on Sunday (April 9).
Leading the service, Rev Dr Vijendra Daniel told parishioners to embrace the Easter spirit of hope and remain steadfast in facing the current challenges in their lives.
Easter is considered the most important day in the Christian calendar as Christians across the world gather at churches to celebrate Jesus' resurrection, which many see as a message of hope and optimism for the future. Joseph Vijayraj, 48, who attended the mass with his wife and three children said that he loved the festive feeling of Easter.
"We undergo a period of fasting and prayer for 40 days called Lent in the build-up to Easter celebrations," said Joseph who works as an engineer."Since young, I have also always admired how so many people from different backgrounds can come together in solidarity for hope for the future," said Ng, who has been coming to the church for over 10 years with his wife.
