Event centres and beaches operated at full capacity last weekend as hundreds of revellers took part in various activities to climax this year’s Easter celebrations.
Church auditoriums saw worshippers, clad in mainly white outfit, dancing and singing praises to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Sunday while some children as well as new converts were baptised on the day.
Unlike the last two years, the easing of COVID-19 restrictions early in March this year somewhat enabled citizens to interact more and “do the things they could not do during the lockdown.”
In addition to picnics by many churches, men and women of all ages spent time at the Dansoman beach in Accra on Monday where there was dancing competition, horse riding, lime and spoon race, ‘tug of peace’ games.
Children were not left out as they were kept busy with bouncy castles and swings at playgrounds.
The congregation at Star of the Sea Catholic Church at Dansoman Last Stop, Precious Stone International Ministry at Sakaman, Methodist Church of Ghana at Odorkor Official Town as well as Christ Resurrection Church, featured prominently in the celebrations.
The Associate Pastor of the Christ Resurrection Church, Accra, said the gathering was to enable the youth take up ‘healthy social activities’ as they continued to preach and spread the gospel.
Despite the bad weather later in the day, he was impressed with the massive turnout by different youth groups and families.
Some of them who spoke to The Spectator said the feast and the social engagement were worthwhile following the long days of fasting and prayer which had enabled them to prepare adequately and renew their faith in God.
Reverend Samuel Nyonyoh, the Parish Pastor of the Shalom Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, preaching the sermon on Sunday, urged Christians not to fear death but be strengthened by the resurrection of power of Jesus Christ.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
