For many Australians, it's the first Easter in several years without COVID restrictions.
In Darwin, Bishop Charles Gauci delivered his Easter message to the crowd of more than 200 people at the Sunday mass at St Mary's Star of the Sea Cathedral where two children were baptised.
Anglican worshippers were joined by Queensland Governor Jeanette Young at the Easter Mass at St John's Cathedral, who also performed the first reading of the service. "There is a lot of hopelessness around at the moment, a lot of things that are deeply disheartening both in Australia and around the world, but that's not the end of the story."
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese took to social media to wish Australians a "safe, happy and holy Easter".
