The streets of Bamenda were abuzz with the faithful flocking to Roman Catholic and other Churches on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
As the Easter celebrations continued throughout Bamenda, the message of hope and resurrection resonated with all who gathered, reaffirming their commitment to their faith and their shared belief in the power of redemption and new beginnings.
The joyous occasion was met with overflowing church pews and crowds spilling out of Church buildings as many exceeded their capacity.
In Menteh, a community mission station in Mandah Parish, the Easter Holy Mass drew a significant number of Christians who gathered both inside and outside the church to partake in the solemn celebration. The Homilist delivered a message reminding the faithful that Easter remains the most significant event in Christian and particularly Roman Catholic tradition, symbolizing the triumph of life over death through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The heightened attendance in most churches was attributed to the reception of various sacraments, including First Holy Communion and Baptism, adding to the already bustling Easter services. Families and individuals came together to commemorate the end of the season of Lent and embrace the hope and renewal that Easter brings.
Despite the overcrowding in some churches, the spirit of unity and faith prevailed as worshippers joined in prayer, song, and reflection on the significance of Easter.
