Hello, my friends. As we enter what some would certainly call the holiest of all seasons, allow me to ask:

How is Easter celebrated in Nigeria? Certainly, the religious aspect is largely similar to other places, but what about traditions, both familial and cultural?

No doubt many of you will have interesting, colourful stories to share!

Well, it seems as if my query has found itself at a bit of a dead end, but I do wish to extend those who celebrate it a truly Joyous and Happy Easter!

The truth is that those so-called wise and prudent theologians know absolutely nothing about the so-called resurrection simply because it never happened. Easter, or the celebration of the resurrection, is merely a tradition, a tradition that you have been taught from childhood, and coming into maturity you have accepted it because that is what you were taught. That is what you read bout. That is what your parents made you observed every Easter Sunday. Thus, you continued to go along with it and before you knew it, you had carelessly assumed what you now believe without question or proof. Easter is the feast of feasts celebrated in honor of the risen Christ. You have even reached the point where you will defend vigorously and emotionally your belief, a belief that can lead you straight to hell. It has become human nature to flow with the stream, and to go along with the crowd, to believe and perform like those around you. And, even when you stumble on the truth, you will not believe because like the majority of the people, you stubbornly refuse to believe what you are unwilling to believe. There is an old saying that says: He who is convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
