President William Ruto has called on Kenyans to embrace unity, love, and faith as the country joins the world in marking Easter celebrations. In his message, he reflected on the meaning behind the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, describing the season as a reminder of hope, fresh beginnings, and spiritual renewal.
Ruto encouraged families to celebrate peacefully and hold on to faith even in difficult moments. He noted that Easter carries a powerful message that challenges can give way to transformation and new opportunities. According to the president, the season offers a chance for individuals and communities to reconnect with values of compassion and togetherness.
“As we remember the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, may this season remind us that after every trial, there is resurrection and a new beginning. To every family, may the spirit of Easter bring joy and peace. To every weary heart, may it bring hope and renewed faith. And to our beloved nation Kenya, may it bring strength of unity and love,” he said.
Easter remains one of the most important events in the Christian calendar, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion. The period begins with Good Friday, which commemorates his suffering and death, and culminates in Easter Sunday, celebrated as a symbol of victory over death and the promise of new life.
