Today, Christians in nigeria and the world over celebrate Easter, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, following His crucifixion on Good Friday. It also brings to an end the 40-day Lenten season. The celebration of Easter is heralded by the holy mass and services in churches across the country and the world.

The Lenten season, which commenced on February 22, with the Ash Wednesday, and lasted for a period of six weeks, was aimed at preparing Christians for this Day. During this period, Christians were expected to fast, abstain from all that is sinful, be more prayerful and to give alms to the needy living amongst them. It was a time for the faithful to re-examine their lives. Also, the last week of the Lenten season, termed the Holy Week, was used to re-emphasise the essence of the entire period and to remind the faithful of the reason why they embarked on the spiritual exercise in the first place.

In his Easter message to the faithful, the President of the Catholic Bishops Conference of nigeria and Achbishop of the Owerri Diocese, Lucius Ugorji, said, “Easter brings a healing message of hope to the disillusioned and broken-hearted.

He added that, “the event of the resurrection is a message that powerfully proclaims that life is stronger than death; that good is stronger than evil; that love is stronger than hate; and that truth is stronger than falsehood.”

Also in his message, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, Archbishop of Abuja Diocese, urged the faithful to take a moment to reflect on the significance of Easter and what it implies for them and Nigerians as a whole.

He added, “Easter reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. Just as Jesus overcame death and rose from the dead, we too can overcome all the things that weigh us down and reach for the heights. But we must continue to believe in ourselves and in our ability to make a positive change in our country.
