Feast of Divine Mercy

The Feast of Divine Mercy is a Christian celebration observed on the Sunday after Easter. It focuses on God's mercy, emphasizing forgiveness and compassion. Established by Pope John Paul II in 2000, it is based on the visions of Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun who received messages from Jesus about His mercy. The day encourages believers to reflect on their faith, seek reconciliation, and extend kindness to others. Many attend Mass, partake in the sacrament of confession, and pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a special prayer that invokes God's mercy for themselves and the world.
