Easter Celebration
“We are excited to be able to do something virtually for Easter. It’s been a year since we have been in intermittent lockdowns; Many of us would normally travel home at Easter. This is a great way to celebrate together despite being away from each other and to lift our spirits,” said Dr. Beverly Gordon, Chair of the Jamaica Diaspora Health Task Force and organizer of the event.
Leo Gilling, Chairman of JDTAN added, “Easter is a special time of year for many cultures around the world. For Jamaicans, we generally celebrate the resurrection through praise and worship. We have been through a lot as a nation, Easter Sunday presents an additional opportunity for us to commune.”
