The traditional aspects of Easter were ignored by the newspapers

Apr 15, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Have the daily newspapers boycotted the publicizing of the traditional celebrations of Good Friday and Easter, and perhaps even Palm Sunday? In years past, I can recall newspapers, especially the Stabroek News, publishing pictures of Palm Sunday processions from Georgetown and photos of Good Friday services as well — nothing this year.
While many newscasts and even a Government Information Agency (GINA) feature highlighted the Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the true meanings of Easter Sunday, the newspapers seemed to have focused more on the secular aspect of Easter: hat-shows, kite flying scenes in Georgetown and other areas, etc.
I’ve been seeing tons of photographs of kite-flying, kite selling, Easter bunnies, Easter hat-shows but no visible representation (in our daily newspapers) of what the past couple of days (holidays) have truly been about.
