Easter in Uganda is celebrated on the same day as the UK. CICO - Uganda-supported children enjoy participating in activities including Easter plays and concerts at their churches. At some projects the staff also arrange special treats such as a picnic.
Food is an important part of Easter celebrations in Uganda and families will prepare a special meal of Ugali (a dough-like consistency made from maize flour), potatoes, beans, chicken or goat.
Christians believe that Jesus was resurrected on the third day after his death. Easter is therefore a celebration of new life. coloured eggs, which are ancient symbols of new life. In some countries children color eggs and then the eggs are hidden for them to find.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
