PNCR EASTER MESSAGE

The People’s National Congress Reform extends Easter Greetings to all Guyanese and more especially, to members of our Christian Community, both here and around the world, on the occasion of the celebration of one of the most important events in the Christian Calendar.
This festival, which commemorates the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, contains both in its symbolic significance, and its secular relevance, important and powerful messages.
For the members of the Christian Community, the Easter story represents the fulfillment of God’s Prophecy that mankind would be offered the hope of eternal life through the sacrificial death of His son, Jesus Christ and His subsequent Resurrection from the dead.
It is this faith which has kept the worldwide Christian Church alive and enabled its followers to significantly contribute towards making the earth a better place for all mankind.
The Easter season in Guyana is best known for the widespread kite flying activity that is seen by many as a representation of the theme of the Resurrection. Whatever may have been its origins, kite flying attracts widespread participation of Guyanese, from all walks of life, regardless of religion, ethnicity or culture. It, therefore, offers another opportunity for Guyanese to share common experiences and understand each other better.
Let us hope that the symbolism of our kites soaring to the heavens inspire all Guyanese to emulate the example of Jesus. Let us be inspired by the hope of the resurrection and work together for a good life for all Guyanese.

A HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER TO ALL!

GAWU’s Easter Message

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) joins our Christian community in observing and celebrating the annual event that is Easter.
Easter is a time when the Christian community the world over commemorates the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But the story of the life and trials of Jesus Christ reverberates to this day.
Forces to which Christ stood up and preached against are still among us and working against the simple and poor peoples. Jesus Christ embraced the poor, imparting into them hope and faith. For this he was hounded, persecuted and crucified by the then dictators. This was the reality of his time, hundreds of years ago.
Yet, such parallels, with differences, abound in our world of today, and Guyana is no exception.
For Christians and non-Christians, Easter focuses on an exemplary life that epitomizes unflinching courage, unwavering faith, humility, and empathy and care for the poor are inspiringly illustrated. These qualities, coming to us over the ages are today sorely needed worldwide, as we engage today’s Caesars and their authoritarian henchmen to bring about an alternative social and economic order.
GAWU urges serious reflection at this time we see much significance in the cleansing season of Lent as we recognize that Easter is a time when hope springs eternal. It is also that time when kites soar high.
We, in Guyana must continue to strive to let our spirits also soar high with fresh achievements and new victories for the poor and voiceless.
GAWU wishes all Guyana a happy Easter.
