It is no doubt that Jesus Christ the first born child of God who came to this Earth to save and fullfill his early earthly assignment of gathering and winning souls for God was killed by his own people the Jews who out pf jealousy and no love for the truth incited his death and as such, he was buried and on the third day(3rd day), he raised according to prophecy and has ever since that time immemorial being raised to sit at the right hand of God as the King who has been given the powers to judge over this very earth and as such, bring an end to all for of injustices the world is experiencing today.
That act of propitiatory sacrifice by Jesus indeed paved the way for us all that by the virtue of the blood he poured out, we became a saved nation of which our prayers are now the key to our being saved as much as the much work that is also needed on our parts for faith without work is dead that is for sure.
The actual truth is that hence Christ has paid that ultimate ransome sacrifice using his life in exchange for many sinful mankind like me and you, it then becomes a matter of urgency that we as christain which implies or means Christ-like follow his footsteps in the actual ways he performed his early ministries while he was still on earth. What I'm trying to say in essence is that we must do the things the way Christ did them if we do profaine to truthfully be parts and parcel of his brothers and sisters he will call on that day of reckoning.
Now back to the topic above, what is Christ the King christains' celebration and how is it celebrated by the church?
Christ the King is an annual celebration of most if not all churches of the world that profaine to be Christ followers and apostles of mordern times.
The celebration is done on an annual basis to mark the fact that the church and all other followers of Christ have indeed recognized him as the King over all mankind and as such would be worshipped in the right order a king should be worshipped or served.
The occasion is usually anchored by a Reverend father of any Catholic parish and the settings are done in such a way that it will reflect all the categories of members and groups in the church and they will all march along every little road where their presence are to be felt and where they want to ensure that Christ's rulership as the King of God's kingdom is announced to the hearing and site of everyone present.
The parish priest or the Reverend father on this occasion carries with him and under an open tent that are held by four boys at its all cardinal points, a small tabernacle that looks like the ancient tabernacle of an act of agreement between God and his people - the nation of Israel.
The tabernacle or small alter of sacrifice is held with the both hands of the priest while a burning incense are well carried about to give it a different smell and one that is befitting of how it was done back in the days during the times of the old prophets of God when God speaks directly to mankind through them as God's representatives here on earth back then.
More so are the different groups and units that will all surround the priest when he eventually wants to say some few words of prayers to mark an open to the occasion which of course is a delight to their followers.
The arrangements are done in such a way that in front of the priest are a group of children who are carrying and spraying flowers to the tabernacle that the priest is carrying and they often did that with some melodious songs that are sang in the most serenity of voices which is also backed up by songs from the father's that are deep enough to send down the deep chorus.
The mothers on the other hand are placed behind the priest and as they sing and dance along, they also ensure that things are done in the right manner they are supposed to be done and arranged while not forgetting the alter boys who would at this point perform all the sacrificial assignments given to them right in front of the priest.
The situation if been honest is usually an eye-catching moment of a mixture of a wonderful and a colourful event that is worthy of a beholding of our very eyes.
If all are to be believed, then I believe that this kinds of celebration will go down in memory for many years to come before the next edition of it comes forth.
