Governor Lolo Moliga issued the following Easter message:
“As we journey to the culmination of Holy Week, the Triduum of Easter:The Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, may we as a community of Christians reflect on Gods immense love for us.
“This Love whereby His only begotten Son was crucified to the Cross as atonement for our sins.
“It is this Greater Love, where Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.”
The governor calls on the territory to remember a special group of workers.
“As we observe Easter this year, in commemoration of Jesus’ sacrifice, I call on our people to remember those whose sacrifices have benefitted our communities during our trials as a nation.
“We remember especially also the sacrifices of time, wealth and personal assistance of our first responders, rescue workers and volunteers during times of natural disasters.
“Let us join the Christian World in proclaiming the good news that Jesus Christ is Risen and celebrate Easter with gratitude.
“May American Samoa continue to be a beacon of that good news.”
