This Sunday, 17 April, the most important Christian festival is celebrated: Easter. It means “passage” and marks the resurrection of Christ, his return to life.
By this passage from death to life, Christ saved man from sin and called him to eternal life. This is why the feast of Easter, celebrated with a solemn mass, is the high point of the Christian liturgical calendar. This day of joy is marked in the churches by the colour white or gold, a symbol of joy and light. And joy and gladness are also present in families. For many Christians have fasted for 40 days. So, after mass, it is time for rejoicing.
For Christians, Christmas is a very famous festival, but Easter is the most important.
Then, on Easter Sunday, the Easter mass celebrated by Father Lodoiska will be live on the radio at 9am from the Saint-Marc church, Flic en Flac. The mass celebrated by Pope Francis live from St Peter’s Basilica will be broadcast on MBC Sat / Senn Kreol at 11.50am. At the end of the celebration in the central loge of the Vatican Basilica, the Pope will give the blessing “Urbi et Orbi”.
On the same day, there will also be the traditional Easter message by Cardinal Piat on MBC TV1 / MBC Sat / Senn Kreol at 20:15.
On Easter evening, at 20:30 on MBC SAT and Senn Kreol, a special programme “Easter, a time of hope” will be broadcast. It gives a voice to families, clergy, entrepreneurs, social workers and artists who sow hope today. Participants: Leong Son family, Harold Mayer, Emmanuel Community among others.
In addition, due to health restrictions, several Masses will be broadcast online.
