Lahore, Pakistan: Churches across the city are holding special services – lighting candles and other activities – to mark Easter on Sunday (today).
Christians celebrate Easter by performing several rituals keeping in view the basic concept of the holiday – the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the church’s birth. Easter is considered the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year. Special dishes are also cooked to commemorate the day.
Victory: Lahore Bishop Dr Alexander John Malik said Easter was the ‘feast of victory’ over sin and death. He said it was also feast of love, tolerance and peace. He said Jesus, through resurrection, emerged triumphant over the demonic forces of evil and death. He said Easter provided hope to everyone struggling against the forces of evil and injustice, adding that the struggle would be fruitful even through death. He strongly urged Christians to join hands with everyone of kindred intentions, struggling for dignity, liberty and equality of human beings. He prayed for peace, progress, prosperity and solidarity of the country.

Pakistani Hero Driver
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s cricket community on Monday honored a Pakistani bus driver as a hero for risking his life to get Sri Lankan cricketers to safety as bullets pierced their vehicle in last month’s deadly terror attack in eastern Pakistan.
“By God’s help I did not feel scared at all and never thought of jumping out of the bus to save myself,” brave Pakistani driver Mohammad Khalil said through an interpreter at an elaborate ceremony at Sri Lanka Cricket headquarters.
Six police officers and a driver were killed and seven members of the Sri Lanka contingent wounded in Lahore on March 3 when more than a dozen heavily armed gunmen ambushed the team convoy en route to a match against Pakistan.
“We are here to thank one unarmed man for his courage, selflessness and quick thinking that enabled many of us to see another day,” said Kumar Sangakkara, who sustained minor injuries in the attack. “We will always have a special place for you in our hearts.”
Khalil was credited with putting his foot down hard on the accelerator to power the vehicle away from the coordinated attacks at an exposed intersection.
Moments later the bus, riddled with 25 bullet holes, careered into the nearby stadium and medics rushed to treat the injured players and staff.
Khalil thanked the Sri Lankan cricketers who went to Pakistan when most of the top teams refused to tour the country because of security concerns.
“We are proud that we are even ready to sacrifice our lives to save our friends,” he said.
Khalil was presented with cash totaling about $20,000 and a leading newspaper group has sponsored a holiday for his family in Sri Lanka. Khalil also gave the cricketers boxes of sweets and henna from Pakistan.
Batsman Thilan Samaraweera, the most seriously wounded of the Sri Lankan players, was released from hospital two weeks after the attack. Former captain Mahela Jayawardene said all the wounded players except for Samaraweera have resumed playing domestic cricket.
The attack was among the highest-profile terrorist strikes on a sports team since the 1972 Munich Olympics, when Palestinian militants killed 11 Israeli athletes.
Pakistan
Thousands of innocent Pakistani citizens including men, women, old and children have been martyred in last last few years. Pakistani Muslims have sacrificed the most for making their country and the world a peaceful place to live, and Pakistan is still sacrificing for a better future. Pakistani Nation is standing against enemies rock hard. No doubt, Pakistani people are the soldiers of the first row in the war against terror. Pakistanis are united against the people spreading terror using name of beautiful religion Islam.
