Celebrating Passover, Good Friday and Easter

April 1, 2026

Dear Neighbor,

This week, many members of the community will observe sacred and deeply meaningful religious holidays.

Beginning this evening (Wednesday), families of the Jewish faith will gather for the start of Passover, commemorating the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt and celebrating faith, resilience, and freedom. The Seder brings loved ones together to reflect on enduring traditions and the meaning of redemption.

On Friday, Christians will observe Good Friday, a solemn day remembering the crucifixion and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The week culminates on Easter Sunday, when Christians celebrate the resurrection, a message of hope, renewal, and new life.

These observances remind us of the enduring power of reflection and community in our shared world. To all who are celebrating, I wish you and your families a meaningful and peaceful holiday.

If you have questions, or ever need any help please don't hesitate to reach out by phone, (800) 842-8267 or email, Kadeem.Roberts@cga.ct.gov.

Sincerely,

Kadeem Roberts
