In a message published by the presidential office, the couple wished clergy and faithful "the blessings of the Risen Christ and His abundant grace in all walks of life."
"May participation in the liturgy, Easter rituals and traditions, and festive gatherings with loved ones fill your hearts with joy and bring spiritual strength," the message said.
They added that the shared experience of faith during the holiday should offer encouragement and serve as an example of social and civic engagement.
Quoting a traditional Easter hymn, the presidential couple emphasised the Christian message of resurrection as a source of hope and peace.
"As Christians, we believe this is the foundation on which we can transform our hearts and strive for a just order in the world," they said.
They also called for prayers for Poland, referring to it as "our common homeland," and concluded with the traditional greeting: "Christ is risen—truly risen."
Orthodox Christians in Poland began celebrating Easter on Sunday, a week later than Catholics this year due to differences in calendar calculations, state news agency PAP reported.
Old Believers in Poland also observe the holiday at the same time, it said.
Easter dates in Western and Eastern Christian traditions coincide only occasionally, as the churches use different calendars and methods of calculation.
Celebrations began overnight with Easter vigils and liturgies held in Orthodox churches across the country.
