Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has shared a message of love and sacrifice in his Easter message to all Fijians, urging everyone to stay home and honour the sacrifices of our healthcare heroes, utility workers, and disciplined forces.

He says love is the road that leads to hope.

Bainimarama says love grants us the strength to honour service with sacrifice.

He has asked all Fijians to stay home, keep the children and the elderly home at all times, and respect our nationwide curfew.

Bainimarama says because by loving one another and sacrificing for each other today, we all will share in the hope of a brighter tomorrow.

For the first time in Fiji, thousands of Christians are spending the Easter holiday at home with their families.

The traditional large congregation sermons have been replaced with live-streamed services.

Today, families sat around a laptop and people also individually watched sermons on their mobile phones as many denominations streamed sermons on their social media pages due to the restrictions put in place to stop the COVID-19 outbreak.

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and is observed as a day of sorrow for all Christians.
