Message
by the Deputy Prime Minister on Easter 2014
This Easter, millions of families
and friends, of all faiths and none, will come together across Britain to enjoy
the holiday period.
For Christians, of course, Easter
is one of the most important festivals of the year. Following Lent, it is a
time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and reflect upon his life
and teachings. And whether you are Christian or not, I’m sure many people can
relate to the messages of love, forgiveness and tolerance that Easter
represents.
I want to pay tribute to the
millions of Christians in the UK who work so hard to put those values into
action. What you do enriches our society in so many ways, whether through
charity work at home and abroad or your dialogue and cooperation with other
faiths across communities.
And, to Christians and non-Christians
alike, I hope you all get a chance to enjoy the break. Happy Easter. |
