President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has wished Ghanaians well as the majority, who are Christians, mark the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
“Easter is the most significant celebration for Christians,” the President opened his Easter message to Ghanaians on Good Friday.
“The extraordinary sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross of Calvary, by dying for us, and His resurrection from the grave have given us victory over sin and death,” he stated.
Christians across the world are marking Easter with a solemn reflection on Good Friday – April 7.
The Resurrection Day will be marked on Sunday, April 9.
“The season is a good opportunity to reflect on that sacrifice, and the hope it brings us.”
Ghana’s head of state wished that the celebration of both the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ will “give birth to a new season of faith, hope, growth, prosperity, reconciliation and sacrifice for everybody in our beloved country and in the world”.
