Lagos, Nigeria, March 23, 2016 – Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide are today celebrating the Lord’s Evening meal at sundown in memorial of the death of Jesus Christ.
JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES COMMEMORATE JESUS’ DEATH TODAY
The event will hold primarily in Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses wherever they may be found worldwide.
The Lord’s Evening Meal also called Lord’s Supper is held every year by the JW as Jehovah’s Witnesses are fondly called on Nissan 14 in obedience to Jesus’ command, urging all genuine Christians to commemorate it at Luke 22:19.
The Memorial was instituted by Jesus Christ on Nissan 14 in 33CE with the 11 Apostles after the departure of Judas Iscariot who eventually betrayed him for 30 pieces of silver.
JW follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ who used two emblems, the unleavened bread, which stands for his perfect body and unfermented wine, which represent his blood, shed once in behalf of all for forgiveness of sin and to keep hope alive on the basis of promised resurrection, Mark 14:22 – 24.

JW are commemorating the event today March 23rd because it corresponds to Nissan 14 in the Jewish Calendar, the Day Jesus instituted the memorial. They are inviting all to attend and see how this is celebrated.
