JAKARTA - The Governor of North Sulawesi (Sulut) Olly Dondokambey, invites all Christians in Indonesia to support and pray for the implementation of the 2022 National Easter, which will take place in the Talaud Islands, North Sulawesi, on 17 May 2022.

According to Olly, celebrating Easter is celebrating God's love that was poured out on humans, through a great event: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is God's love that holds us tight and strong, according to the theme of the 2022 National Easter Inseparable From God's love (Romans 8:38-39).

"Therefore, let's welcome this 2022 National Easter, with all the problems and challenges we face, both our country, our nation, and our families, especially in the last two years which have been very difficult," said Olly.

"However, we still have faith and rely on God as part of our complete life," continued Olly, who is also the Chair of the PGI Men's Communication Forum (FK-PKB), as reported by the PGI website, Thursday, April 7th.

As previously informed, the 2022 National Easter will be filled with various initial activities, such as the Easter Parade (Way of the Cross), lantern competitions and Easter ornaments, as well as seminars or symposiums with the theme: "Easter and the Spirit of Nationalism (Nasiolism) at the Border".

The peak of the 2022 National Easter implementation was held on May 17 in Melonguane, the capital city of Talaud Regency. The event will be filled with worship followed by celebrations.

It is reported that President Joko Widodo and a number of ministers will attend this event, along with the community, congregations, church leaders, and local government officials.
