The Mayor and City Council of Georgetown has noted that Easter is one of the most joyous days in the Christian community and also a time when persons reflect upon the life, teaching and sacrifice of Jesus, the Christ.
In its Easter message, the M&CC expressed the hope that as citizens raise their kites to the winds, they would contemplate ways of lifting their neighbourhoods to a place of good environmental health and stewardship.
And while noting that the Easter celebration has come to characterize the period when Guyanese from different strata of society come together to indulge in the traditional kite flying and other merrymaking activities, the M&CC declared that “the act of kite-flying is a gesture of faith in the hope of a new reality.”
