Celebrating Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is most often defined as the one that God sent from heaven to forgive us of our sins. But there are other reasons for which Jesus Christ is known. There are several Christian celebrations and practices that transpire throughout the course of the year that come to illustrate the celebration of this fact. One of the practices for which Jesus is celebrated happens once a month in many of the churches of the Christian faith. This day is referred to by the Christian church as the day of Holy Communion. Jesus Christ is celebrated on the day of Holy Communion in the form of a ritual that takes place in order to reflect on the life, the times, and the works of Jesus. Holy Communion is a time in which the Christians come together in order to partake in the sacred acts that Jesus did at the Last Supper. In the honor and remembrance of Jesus Christ, Christians partake in the eating of bread and the drinking of wine. As the Bible says in John 6:34, “Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” As a part of the New Covenant that was made with Jesus, it is a tradition within many of the Christian faiths to continuously celebrate Jesus Christ by partaking in this act.

Another celebration of Jesus Christ is Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is a day that is celebrated in order to commemorate the time in which Jesus had come to enter Jerusalem. This important holiday to many members of the Christian faith takes place during the sixth week of the lent season. Jesus Christ entering Jerusalem is a very pivotal moment to descendants of the Christian faith is because is the land that Jesus entered to which He would come to die on the cross for our sins, five days later, on the other commemorated day for Jesus by members of the Christian faith, Good Friday. And as we know, Easter is the holiday that has come to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Palm Sunday marks a time where people dedicate their time to celebrating the life and sacrifices of Jesus Christ. There are many times in which Jesus is celebrated without there being any holiday to mark the occasion, but this is a time in which the people of the Christian faith come together in mass numbers in order to carry out this pursuit.
