But Easter isn’t cancelled; indeed, we need Easter as much as ever,” she said.”The discovery of the risen Christ on the first Easter Day gave his followers new hope and fresh purpose, and we can all take heart from this.”We know that coronavirus will not overcome us. As dark as death can be — particularly for those suffering with grief — light and life are greater. May the living flame of the Easter hope be a steady guide as we face the future.” The Queen speaks of light overcoming darkness, and the hope that Easter symbolises, in a special message recorded to mark the Easter weekend. pic.twitter.com/fTFCOSVBtT— The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) April 11, 2020The post ”Light overcomes darkness, Coronavirus will not overcome us” – Read Queen Elizabeth’s Easter message to Brits during lockdown appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
