Easter is traditionally a time of new beginnings.
People everywhere celebrate life and resurrection.
All around us nature is changing and we can look forward to warmer and brighter days ahead. Yet Easter has special significance for people in Ireland as it also marks the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. Three years ago the Agreement signalled a new beginning for the people of Northern Ireland in particular. It drew a line in the sand after years of violence and conflict. It gave hope after years of despair.
