I believe that Easter is the most important part of Christianity because if Jesus had not resurrected, there would be no Easter. In my family, we celebrate Easter more than we celebrate Christmas. It is also a time where I and my family and foundation cater for the poor. I minister to lepers, the underprivileged and widows. I have been doing this for about 16 years. Easter is a period to remind us that we should help and bless others. It is a period that stresses that we need to be more grateful.
