Easter Celebration Rally

Easter  is   the  time  share  the  glorious 

resurrection  of Christ with  the  world.

This  is  what   makes  Jesus  unique.

The  founders  of   every  other  religion 

have  graves except  Jesus,  his  tomb

is  empty. In India  religious   processions

are  very  common and  attract  great  attention.

Our  Easter  procession ended   in  my  church. Here  are   some scenes  from  the  evening.

On April  22nd we  are having  an open air

Christian  music  concert featuring 

Vijay Benedict in our   church.

Pray  that  this  may  touch   the  hearts  of  many  people.

An  Easter rally was taken out in the city on Saturday  (April 7th) as a part of Easter celebrations. The procession started at Naini and after passing through areas culminated at Union Church in Civil Lines.

The procession started with word of prayer by Bishop Rajendra B Lal. He appealed to the people to learn from the life of Jesus Christ who  forgave even his enemies. Director  of  administration Dr  Vinod B Lal and Registrar of SHIATS Prof  Dr AKA Lawrence gave their contribution in route arrangement of the procession while SHIATS pro-V-C Prof SB Lal  convened  the procession.

Several tableaus formed the part of the procession. The first tableau showed Jesus in a garden with his disciples, the second tableau showed Jesus carrying the cross while the third was based on crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The fourth tableau exhibited the grave of Jesus Christ guarded  by four Roman soldiers while the fifth depicted the victory over death by resurrection of Jesus Christ for which Easter is celebrated. The Sixth tableau depicted the appearance of Jesus after his resurrection.

The last tableau carried the Bhajan mandli (  choir)  who after witnessing the glory of Jesus and gave the good news of Jesus Christ by singing different devotional songs.
