The widely observed day recalls the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, three days after being executed on a hill known as Golgotha, which was just outside of Jerusalem.

Observances held both in-person and virtually are expected to include a diverse array of musical pieces celebrating the most significant event in Christianity.
