FOUNDER OF KADIFF FELICITATE WITH CHRISTIAN FAITHFUL AT EASTER
The founder of Kaduna International Film festival Audu Israel Kashim have felicitate with Christian faithful at Easter.
Audu explained that Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb on the third day after his crucifixion (Good Friday). Easter is the fulfilled prophecy of the Messiah who would be persecuted, die for our sins, and rise on the third day (Isaiah 53). Remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin. This year's Easter falls on 9th April 2023 unlike Christmas the date changes each year.
Easter follows a period of fasting called Lent, in which many churches set aside time for repentance and remembrance. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Good Friday, the day of Jesus' crucifixion. The 40 day period was established by Pope Gregory 1 using the 40-day pattern of Israel, Moses, Elijah, and Jesus' time in the wilderness.
Easter teaches us to always do good, Not to betray those around us or those who trust us. It also teaches us love, forgiveness, humility and service. As we celebrate this year's Easter let us show love to the abandoned and those around us who need our attention. Let people see the risen Christ in us who has brought light to the world especially in this post election season.
As Creatives and public figures let us continue to be role models to our society and emulate the lessons of why we celebrate Easter.
I look forward to receiving you all in Kaduna state Nigeria during the 6th Kaduna International Film festival which is scheduled to hold in August.
With love, I wish all Christian faithful around the world a Happy Easter celebration !!!!
