THE Ministry of Youth Culture and Sport on Thursday celebrated with staff the meaning of Easter through scripture reading, song and dance.

It was obvious from the staff gathered that Easter continues to be more than a Christian holiday, but a national holiday as well, as Guyanese of all walks of life gathered to celebrate the occasion.

For Christians, Easter is a celebration of the triumph of Christ over death, of hope over despondency. Easter reminds us, too, that despair is not a permanent condition, and that the greatest of problems can be overcome. This message was related through poem by a staff member.
The celebration was attended by Minister of Youth Culture and Sport, Dr Frank Anthony, Permanent Secretary Alfred King and a large number of staff members.
