Kota Kinabalu: A sea of Roman Catholic faithful and Christians from all walks of life converged on the Sacred Heart Cathedral and various churches statewide on Sunday (April 5), marking the Easter celebrations.

From the mist-covered hills of Bundu Tuhan to the coastal towns of Sandakan and Tawau, the day signalled a glorious conclusion to Holy Week.

This year’s Easter carried a particularly resonant message of “brighter hope,” as families united in prayer for a season of prosperity and health.

From elders sharing ancestral wisdom to the youth joining the festivities, the scene stood as a powerful testament to a community looking forward to a renewed life with unwavering optimism.
