"The first Easter I remember"

“As a community, after the Easter Day service we celebrated the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with a big kai kai (feast). People from all over the Torres Strait Islands and Papua New Guinea (which was then still administered by Australia) came via sailing canoes rather than by motor boats, bringing seafood, taro, sweet potato, casava, sago and other traditional foods. We then had traditional dancing with men wearing headdresses made of emu feathers and women wearing grass skirts,” says Uncle Milton Walit from NATSIAC and The Parish of Laidley

Archbishop Jeremy Greaves’ Easter Day 2024 message

“I was recently at one of our schools to talk with Year 6 students about being a leader. Of all the questions asked of me by the Year 6 students, my favourite was: ‘What’s one thing you would tell your 15-year-old self?’…In the mystery of the resurrection that we celebrate at Easter, God tells us again and again: ‘Death does not have the final word…Love endures. Hope wins out’,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
