This should be propagated to all the human family that is evangelism."
"If you believe Jesus Christ, you can get eternal life. Jesus said whoever believes in me will live forever. This is a great day of hope. People will come here to remember their loved ones and hope that they are going to appear again when the Lord Jesus is coming again. This is a day of rejoicing that death has vanished through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ" the priest added
