Easter Celebrations

The holiday's date varies each year due to the centuries-old computations that form the Christian Ecclesiastical Calendar, therefore Easter Sunday might fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25. Despite being bordered by majority-Muslim Indonesia, Timor Leste is 97% Roman Catholic. It is a stronghold of Catholic Easter rituals in a part of the globe where they are not widely practiced. The entire Easter weekend is a focus on religious devotion as well as enjoyment.

Easter Celebration is extensively observed in this country, and these dates are among the most commonly observed National Public Holidays. It's also one of the most famous events and festivals in Timor-Leste. Processions, ceremonies, and religious festivities are expected to take place for over a week, including Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. The main Good Friday celebrations usually begin with a pilgrimage to a religious site on top of a hill in each of the Timorese localities, followed by large family gatherings and events.
