After 40 days of the Lenten Season,the Christian fraternity came together to celebrate the resurrection of the lord.

The celebration at Valencia started at 7.00pm on 30th March 2024. Before the festive mass all the lights were switched off at the church grounds. Fr Leo Lasrado,rector Gladsom home Mangalore lit the Easter Candle from the "New Fire '' and carried it to the Altar in a procession. As the candle was taken down the aisle, parishioners lit the candles from the flame, illuminating the area in candlelight. Water was blessed and the Holy water was then sprinkled on all those present.
