Easter weekend brings excitement worldwide. Christians celebrate Jesus dying for their sins. Many attend church gatherings to honor this important religious time. Some people who follow other religions or have different beliefs use these days to visit family or travel.
In Zimbabwe, Easter creates busy churches. Most businesses close, giving workers time off. Apostle Stephen Mangwanya says Easter helps believers remember that God sent Jesus to save everyone. Church leader Sambo plans to worship with Methodist members before finishing at a prayer mountain.
Not everyone celebrates the same way. Muslim store owner Jasper Hassan keeps working because Easter holds no meaning for him. He respects other faiths but stays committed to Islam. Tichaona Maluleke from Chiredzi follows traditional African religion instead. He spends the holiday working in his garden or meeting friends.
Christians believe Easter shows life beats death through Jesus's resurrection. They say his sacrifice offers forgiveness from God. The holiday includes special services, meals, and traditions like Easter eggs. Zimbabweans celebrate according to their different backgrounds during this time of renewal.
