Canberra, April 18, 2025 – Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has delivered a heartfelt Easter message to Australia’s Greek Orthodox community, celebrating the holiday’s themes of hope, reflection, and renewal.
In his official statement, the Prime Minister extended warm wishes, noting that Easter is a time for both contemplation and joy. “Easter invites us to contemplate the redemptive power of sacrifice and forgiveness while celebrating the renewal of love and life,” Albanese said. He emphasized the enduring message of the Easter story, which offers hope that “light will prevail even in the darkest moments.”
Albanese praised the Greek Australian community for embodying the spirit of love and compassion central to the Christian faith. “Your contributions, whether through acts of charity or fostering strong community bonds, make our society immeasurably stronger,” he said, highlighting the community’s significant role in enriching the nation.
The Prime Minister concluded by wishing Greek Australians a joyful Easter filled with love, peace, and cherished moments with family and friends, signing off with the traditional greeting, Καλό Πάσχα!
Orthodox Easter, often observed on a different date than Western Easter due to the Julian calendar, is a cornerstone of cultural and religious life for Greek Australians, marked by church services, festive traditions, and communal gatherings.
