Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Religious fathers have urged Christians to celebrate the Ethiopian Easter holiday by consolidating values that strengthen unity and generosity.<\/p>\n

The religious fathers have expressed their best wishes in connection with the Ethiopian Easter that will be celebrated tomorrow.<\/p>\n

In the messages, they stressed the need to enhance Ethiopian values of togetherness and generosity while celebrating the holiday.<\/p>\n

Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Abune Matias, underscored the need to celebrate the Easter holiday by practicing the good deeds thought in the religion.<\/p>\n

Stressing the need to implement the values of the holiday, good character and integrity, which are the core values of the holiday, he noted the importance of overcoming challenges encountered both globally and nationally.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian Catholic Church Archbishop, Cardinal Beirhaneyesus D. Souraphiel, on his part, urged the faithful to show practically what they learned from their God.<\/p>\n

He stated that Christians should work for national peace and love by cooperating with their brothers and sisters, and avoiding grudges and hatred.<\/p>\n

According to him, supporting the needy in different parts of the country needs to be the main manifestation of the holy day.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian Evangelical Churches Council President, Reverend Dereje Jenberu said resurrection is a holiday where the creator expressed His profound love for mankind.<\/p>\n

Noting that resurrection was the time when hatred was replaced by love, separation by unity, and defeat by victory, he urged the reigning of forgiveness among the faithful.<\/p>\n

Concluding his message, the president expressed best wishes to all followers of the Christian faithful to be filled with peace, love, and happiness.<\/p>\n
