Easter - Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, is at the very heart of the Christian faith. But what do events 2,000 years ago say to our modern world? Well - quite a lot, according to the Bishop of Sodor and Man - the Rt Rev'd Tricia Hillas, as she explains in today's programme of thoughts, readings - and some great Easter music!

Today is Palm Sunday - the start of a week that begins with celebrations, and ends, just days later, with death. Today, using words and music, we tell the story that's at the very heart of the Christian faith.
