Christians celebrate Easter
Many today will be having prayers and services remembering the day Jesus Christ died.
This is the saddest day of Holy Week where Christians believe that the Savior Jesus Christ, was crucified after being betrayed by one of his 12 apostles named Judas Iscariot.
It is part of the Christian belief that Jesus died in order to save the world, and rose again three days later.
This will be celebrated tomorrow night and early Sunday morning.
The Holy Week began with Palm Sunday last Sunday depicting Jesus entry into Jerusalem where he was hailed King by the many believers, yesterday was also Holy Thursday where Christians celebrated Jesus last supper with his apostles.
Methodist Church of Fiji Acting General Secretary Reverend Tevita Nawadra said that Good Friday will always be the most important day for Christians because it was the day that Jesus came down to die for our sins.
Reverend Nawadra added Jesus showed his love for us when he died on the cross for everyone.
Nawadra hopes that this long weekend can only be meaningful if we follow the real meaning of Easter.
On Sunday, Christians will celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Christians believe according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross.
