King Charles has issued his Easter message in which he discusses the "paradox of human life" and the humility of Jesus that was witnessed on Maundy Thursday.

In his Easter message, addressed to "all who celebrate", notes the official website of the British Royal Family, the King describes how “this paradox of human life runs through the Easter story". It can also be seen, he says, "in the scenes that daily come before our eyes – at one moment, terrible images of human suffering and, in another, heroic acts in war-torn countries where humanitarians of every kind risk their own lives to protect the lives of others”.
