    Domingo de Páscoa

    Hoje celebra-se a Páscoa, a festividade central do cristianismo, marcada pela ressurreição de Jesus Cristo. De acordo com o Novo Testamento, foi ao terceiro dia após a sua crucificação que Jesus venceu a morte, trazendo consigo a promessa de redenção e vida eterna. Este acontecimento, que moldou a fé cristã, é recordado todos os anos no primeiro domingo depois da primeira lua cheia que segue o equinócio da primavera. Mais do que um simples dia no calendário, a Páscoa representa renovação, esperança e o triunfo da luz sobre a escuridão. É um tempo de reflexão, celebração e, para muitos, de reunião familiar, onde tradições antigas se misturam com os rituais da fé.
