Christians mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ today

Easter Sunday, known in Czech as "Boží hod velikonoční", is being celebrated around the world today by Christians as the day of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. It is the culmination of the Easter Triduum, which begins with Good Friday and continues through Holy Saturday. In the Catholic tradition, Easter Vigil includes lighting candles and adult baptisms. In Czech folk customs, the day marks the end of Lent and is often celebrated with a hearty lunch. Easter Monday, while not a religious holiday, is widely observed in Czechia with traditional visits and symbolic rituals of spring.
