On this occasion of Easter, which is devoutly celebrated by Christians to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his death by crucifixion, I extend wishes for for a blessed Easter filled with peace, happiness, and blessings.
The message that the resurrection of Christ conveyed to the world is that light can overcome darkness, faith can conquer fear, and happiness can triumph over suffering.
It is natural and inevitable that we have to experience various challenges, hardships, and obstacles in our lives. Yet, the Easter message reminds us that no darkness endures forever, and that the dawn of hope is always followed by challenges. It inspires us to renew our lives and to move forward with unwavering determination.
As we observe Easter with great reverence, we cannot forget the sufferings endure by many due to the unfortunate conflict prevailing in the Middle East. On this sacred day of Easter, I believe for the dawn of a peaceful world where dialogue and understanding prevail over hatred and conflicts.
Guided by the message of love and peace preached by Christ, let us nurture our hearts with love, patience, and forgiveness. Let us join hands to build Sri Lanka as one family, founded on brotherhood and peace.
Blessed Easter!
