Dear countrymen,

I cordially congratulate you on the Easter of Christ.

The traditions of this joyous holiday are rooted in the distant past, symbolising the victory of life, resurrection and renovation of man’s moral world. Easter opens up the true humanism of Christianity, which celebrates the enormous spiritual energy of universal mercy and love.

On days like these, believers are overwhelmed with the feeling of true great joy and desire to do good, to give warmth and care to those in need of sympathy and compassion.

May this great holiday of the Resurrection of Christ bring wellbeing, mutual understanding and spring mood to your homes and families, give you strength for new accomplishments so as to ensure transformation and prosperity of the Belarusian land, promote the ideals of justice, mercy and selfless assistance to one's neighbour.

I sincerely wish you good health, successes in all your undertakings, happiness and well.

Alexander Lukashenko
