The Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, has sent a message to mark Orthodox Easter this year.
Full message:
“Happy Easter, Australia.
For many, Easter Sunday is a holy day marking the resurrection – a celebration of faith, hope and renewal.
The variety of services, vigils and ceremonies across the Easter period speaks for our nation’s diversity.
Thank you for your contribution to our nation.
Finally, can I ask you all to please take care on the roads at this busy time for travel.
Have a safe, happy and holy Easter.”
