Easter

Easter carries a special meaning everywhere in the Christian world – and has numerous traditions associated with it. At Folkekirken for Internationals, that is no different, and Easter is one of our highlights of the year.

What importance does resurrection have for our lives today? Which meaning does the cross and crucifixion of Christ carry today?

In a busy city like Copenhagen, where life can often feel fast-paced and disconnected, Easter serves as a reminder of hope, redemption and the enduring power of love.

We celebrate this time not just as a reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice, but as an opportunity to explore its relevance in our daily lives.

We invite everyone, whether lifelong believers, those questioning faith, or those curious about spirituality, to join us as we engage in meaningful discussions, meditative worship experiences and community-oriented Easter meals designed to reflect how love in action can work.

Through our activities, the journey of Easter comes alive – with arrivals, trial and triumph, which resonates with our struggles and aspirations as individuals and as a society.

In our modern context, we emphasize that the story of Easter is one of breaking barriers and uniting diverse communities, reflecting the inclusiveness of Christ’s message. By partaking in the holidays and practices, we seek to create a deeper understanding of the transformative power of love and sacrifice, encouraging attendees to experience what it means to be a part of our inclusive community.
