"Let it be a time full of strengthening joy, victorious hope and interpersonal solidarity. Especially in these difficult days, when all of us together in the country are struggling with a dangerous epidemic, the comforting message of the Easter Resurrection miraculously uplifts our spirits," the president wrote.
