The principles and sentiments of some messages need not change from year to year even when actual objective circumstances do.

The culmination of the Christian Lenten Season of self-sacrifice and cleansing happens over this week-end into the beginning of the new Holy Week. Easter is upon us and, like Christmas, it envelopes even non-Christians. This is because, with its Resurrection Story after its prophesied Crucifixion, HOPE is offered to mankind, through yet another Faith.

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) associates itself with the Christian Community, especially the hundreds of its own members of that Faith, as Guyanese reflect upon then celebrate the events of 2010 years ago. Let the Resurrection inspire Christians and all Guyanese to embrace the hope of the sacrifice of the One who died to exonerate his followers – inspire them to live and work in production harmony to wed spiritual peace to economic prosperity in this land where there can be plenty.

We will all, in true Guyanese fashion, celebrate the Risen Christ with kite-flying, Easter eggs and Cross Buns and all the now seasonal Easter activities across our country.

However, let the Easter tradition remind us NOT to waste the Promise of the Resurrection. There can still be abundant everlasting life for us all to share. Now and beyond this plane.
Happy Easter Guyana!
