Christians across the UAE will flock churches and attend special mass celebrating Easter today. According to Christian tradition, Easter marks the culmination of Lent, a 40-day period of penance, fasting and abstinence.
Residents living away from their loved ones try and make their Easter celebration as traditional as possible. Kevin Alexander, a banking professional in Dubai, said: "Currently, I live in Dubai and miss celebrating Easter with my loved ones, who are back home in India. However, I do what I can to replicate that family feel. I usually head to over to a friend's house and celebrate Easter with his family.
With Easter falling on a working day, some residents take the day off and spend time with loved ones. Ancy Alexander, a public relations professional, said: "We usually are big on Easter breakfast and lunch, and the entire family gets together for the feast after prayers."
Joshua Johnson, cofounder of the Ripple Effect dance production house, said: "Our family is a tight knit unit. Generally my family and relatives go to the church by about 7pm for the Easter mass."
