LAGOS, Nigeria – Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide are today celebrating the memorial of Jesus  Christ in honour of the command Jesus Christ gave his disciples at Luke 22: 19, “Keep doing this in remembrance of me”.

Jehovah’s Witnesses hold the celebration annually, in obedience to the command on the day which corresponds to Nissan 14 in the Jewish calendar, the very day that Jesus Christ instituted the memorial.

Already, they have been giving out invitations inviting all that are able to visit any Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses nearby in the evening today after sun down.

The celebration will begin at about 6:30pm with a talk, that will discourse the most outstanding display of love in human history demonstrated by Jehovah God and his beloved son, Jesus Christ.

Two emblems, the bread and the win will be used during the occasion as symbol of Jesus’ flesh and blood.

According to JW.org,  “the meeting starts and ends with the singing of a song, as well as a prayer offered by a minister of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

“The main feature of the Memorial is a talk that reviews the importance of Jesus’ death and how we can benefit from what God and Christ have done for us”.

Jesus Christ instituted the memorial with the 11 faithful apostles after the Passover which he held with the 12 disciples. Click HERE for more.  Click here  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/memorial/ to find a place of meeting near you.
