Millions of believers and followers of Jesus Christ in Uganda conducted the Way of the Cross on Good Friday, an important practice as written in the Holy Book.
Following his persecution and hanging on the Cross many centuries ago, on Sunday, Christians worldwide will commemorate Easter Day following his resurrection.
Ahead of Sunday, and other events leading up to Easter Sunday, Uganda’s opposition political party, UPC, says it “joins our Christian brothers and sisters in Uganda and across the world to celebrate Easter holidays.”
In a statement released by the party’s head of media and communications, Muzeyi Faizo, UPC said: “It has not been easy to reach this far as we are to witness our Jesus Christ enduring all forms of torture and eventual crucifixion, but with a promise to resurrect and save us from our sins.”
There are lessons to learn from the experience of our lord Jesus Christ, Faizo said on Wednesday. “We need to be humble, kind and humane towards each other. We have to offer leadership that uplifts society, live in harmony and love one another.”
He added that “we must desist greed and corruption, which is a recipe for primitive accumulation of capital and at the same ruining the development of our country.”
There is a need for constant reflection and to live by the word of God, he urged, adding: “This encourages us to stand firm, make appropriate laws and take decisions that the country can be proud of.
“Let us enjoy the benefits of spiritual renewal by following the word of God.”
