Hundreds of Bahamians chose to celebrate Easter by attending a special gospel music concert hosted by the Ministry of Tourism.

Held on Clifford Park on Easter Sunday, the event featured an all gospel line-up of crowd favourites like Shaback, Denczil Rolle and Friends, Edison Sumner and Voices of Praise, The Rahming Brothers, Iana Cartwright, Mount Calvary Praise Team and Bishop Lawrence Rolle among others.

Director of Religious Tourism Dwight Armbrister said the idea of the event is to give thanks to God.

“It’s the minister’s (Obie Wilchcombe) vision for us to come together and pause to recognise our achievements and we pause to give thanks for all of our accomplishments over the past year. For the past four years, we have been doing this during Easter time – our most religious time of the year and so it is a great time of the year,” he said.

“One of the things that we wanted to accomplish is to have religious talent come together on the mega stage to perform for Bahamians and for the world and to have those persons become brand carriers.”
