Easter greetings from Daoud
Dear friends,
As we celebrate Easter this year with heavy hearts, we are reminded that light breaks through the darkness, that pain, injustice and even death do not have the last word, and that the empty tomb is not only a symbol of victory over death, but also a promise that love is stronger than hate, that justice will rise and that peace will prevail.
Jesus rose from the dead not only to comfort the brokenhearted, but also to challenge systems of oppression and call for a new way of life. HE challenged both the religious and political powers of his day, and HIS resurrection was – and is – a revolution of love.
At the Tent of Nations, we continue to embody this resurrection hope. Despite years of legal battles and daily challenges, we still stand on the sacred ground of our ancestors rooted in faith and nonviolence, refusing to give in to despair.
We continue to plant seeds of hope, even on rocky ground, and resist injustice with the same spirit that turned over the table and rolled away the stone.
May we become gardeners of justice, may we be in solidarity, not only in thought but also in deed as peacemakers and bridge builders. Let us make Easter not just a moment, but a movement that continues through us.
We wish you a blessed and powerful Easter full of light, love, courage and a renewed commitment to justice
With faith, love and hope,
Daoud Nassar
