Unusually this year, Orthodox and Catholic Easter are on the same day. As Christians celebrate Easter together, we are reminded of the unity and shared hope that this sacred time brings. At this time of year, I reflect on those who are unable to celebrate their faith’s most important festival with their families. Many Christians still face persecution for their beliefs or live in war zones like Ukraine. Their extraordinary faith is a testament to how Christ’s life, death, and resurrection continue to inspire hope, even in the most difficult circumstances, across the world. This same faith defines and enriches our culture and heritage in the UK. It brings about everyday acts of kindness and sacrifice in our communities, making us richer in every sense. I am grateful for the Christian inheritance that makes the UK such a blessed place to call home. Wishing everyone in the UK and around the world a very happy Easter.
