Tomorrow will be an eventful day for all Christian denominations as preparations for the Easter holiday celebrations are already at an advanced stage. "We have finally wrapped up preparations for the holidays," spokesperson for the Zion Christian Church (ZCC), Daniel Moloi said on Monday.
Easter holidays start tomorrow until Monday April 17, and tens of thousands of people will be crossing borders to attend pilgrimages or just to spend money.
More than 18,000 ZCC members from Botswana are expected to visit ZCC holy place - Moria in South Africa, to receive blessings. "Good Friday is an opportunity for every Christian to focus on prayers," asserted Moloi. In 2005, ZCC spiritual leader, Bishop Barnabas Lekganyane visited Botswana to pray for rain and other social ills. "We are going to give thanks to God for what he did for us when the country was getting increasingly dry." Other issues to be addressed in Moria include intensive prayers for HIV/AIDS, femicide-suicide and unemployment.
"We will also pray for the current fuel crisis that has led to unaffordable standards of living," said Moloi. Reverend Rupert Hambira of UCCSA says Easter holidays reminds Christians of the ministry of the Lord, Jesus Christ. "It reminds us of the resurrections which for us Christians represents the ultimate victory," he said.
Much like ZCC, the UCCSA is prepared for the Easter holidays. Hambira told Mmegi that his church would hold co mmemorative events on Sunday. "Easter is central to our Christian faith because it is the belief in the history of Jesus."
Faith Gospel After Christ (FGAC) church in Ratholo will celebrate Easter holidays in style this year. FGAC spokesperson, Tebogo Motlhagodi said preparations were ongoing for a rare event in which church leaders would parade as beauty pageants. He said the event was meant to motivate young people and demonstrate that the church is not a conservative institution, but it tolerates other activities. He explained that Easter holidays are usually a challenge for his church. "This year we have a lot to do.
