Premier Victor Ponta wishes all Romanians in the country and abroad, Easter celebrations full of joy, peace and light at the side of their loved ones.
 
"The Resurrection of Our Lord is a time of hope and joy. During this period, faith brings us together in our family and community. It is a time when we ought to gratefully evoke the important role of the Christians and Churches in building the common well-being, a cohesive European society rooted in tradition, and at the same time, always open to the challenges of the present," the Prime Minister says in his Easter message cited in a release issued on Sunday by the Government's Press Office.

The head of the Government also remarks that Romania's receiving the Holy Light from Jerusalem has already become a tradition.

"Enjoying this gift yet again this year, our thoughts naturally go out to the Christians in the East, in Africa and all over the world, with concern for their fate, as they face persecution for their faith. Today, on the day of Our Lord's Resurrection, I wish all Romanians in the country and outside country boundaries, an Easter celebration full of joy, peace and light, at the side of their loved ones! Christ is Risen!" reads the message of Prime Minister Victor Ponta.
