Easter Celebrations: From New Shoes to Unity in Malaysia

Easter brings a mix of traditions and unity calls in Malaysia. Read more about this unique celebration!

Easter is more than just a religious holiday; it's a time for tradition and togetherness. Remember the excitement of dressing up for Easter, staging parades in the neighborhood, and attending worship services in new outfits? In Kuching, Christians gathered at churches to observe Easter, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Kuching Catholic Archbishop Simon Poh used the occasion to promote goodwill among faiths, emphasizing unity in Malaysia.

This year, Iraq's Chaldean Catholics took a bold stance by canceling Easter celebrations to support Cardinal Sako in protesting a presidential decision. Despite the cancellation, the gesture reflects a deep commitment to their beliefs. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for one's faith and principles.

In the spirit of Easter, unity and faith are the focus in Malaysia. Let's embrace the diversity of traditions and beliefs, fostering goodwill and understanding among all communities. The message of Easter extends beyond religious boundaries, calling for harmony and respect among individuals of different faiths. This Easter, let's cherish the values of unity and compassion, building a better Malaysia together.
