As Covid-19 wreaked havoc for the past three years, it also restricted gatherings forcing people to celebrate occasions like Easter without families and friends. However, this year, Mumbaikars are back to their celebratory best. While some plan get-togethers with three generations, others find joy in celebrating away from home with friends

Easter celebrations in Andrea Rebeiro`s family are big. As many as 40 people come together to celebrate the occasion. Easter is celebrated across the Christian world and the celebrations were hit for the past three years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Although Mumbaikars celebrated Easter last year, Rebeiro`s treaded with caution and had a smaller gathering at home with immediate family.
This year, however, the Rebeiro family plans to celebrate like the pre-pandemic days. “We are celebrating with the larger family of about 40 of us with nanas, papas, uncles, aunties, cousins and kids,” the Andheri resident says, gleefully. Like many other members of the Catholic community, Rebeiro and her family will be attending Easter vigil mass service on Saturday evening, followed by a get-together with friends enjoying good food and drink well into the night because “Easter Sunday is usually with family” for her.
