Kohima: Marking the victory of Jesus Christ over death for the redemption of mankind from sin, Nagaland celebrated Easter by holding special mass for healing, peace and reconciliation within the Naga society.
Extending cheerful greetings to the Christian community of the state, Governor P B Acharya said, “Easter is a significant event upon which faith is based… the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.”  Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang in his message said, “For Christians, Easter is the foundation of our faith…. If only we can live as faithful Christians, we can transform our society and create a better place to live in.”
On this joyous occasion, he called upon the people to put aside their differences, and present themselves before the Lord with gratitude and thanksgiving for what He has done for us. (PTI)
