Sunday is a sacred day for the Christians all over the world. All the people from the infants to the elderly attend the church on Sunday. Compared to the eternal life we are all here in this world only for the time being just like a pilgrim. Only heaven is the pilgrimage for all the human beings. We work six days a week. Sunday is considered as a day for prayer by the Christians. Some years before we observed Sunday as a weekly holiday. Prayer is the best preparation to get ready to go to heaven.

Let us pray with attention on this day. Prayer is the food for our souls. Prayer bears good fruits in our life. And the church is the best place to feel the existence of God. We can feel His existence in our life. To enable us to enrich our spiritual life, please do not call hartal on Sunday, 27 March, which is Easter Sunday. It's a great festival for the Christianity all over the world. Easter Sunday is the Victory Day of Jesus Christ. On this day Jesus Christ arose from his death.

Happy Easter to the readers. No hartal on any Sunday. Hartal does not bring any good. It can only create problems.
