The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has joined Muslims in the country and around the world to celebrate the Eid-ul-Fitri festival, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

This was contained in a statement by CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh on Friday.

We rejoice with them and pray that the blessings of God will be with them now and always.

“Ramadan is a time of self-reflection and a renewed commitment to living a life of piety and peace. It teaches us the importance of sacrifice, compassion, and generosity towards others, especially the less privileged in our society.

“As we mark this important occasion, we must take the opportunity to reflect on the lessons of Ramadan and the values that it teaches us which is love for one another and mutual understanding for a peaceful society.

“Islam and Christianity share a lot of good virtues in common and we must use our understanding of the Holy books to promote inclusivity, and work towards building a more tolerant and egalitarian society for us all.

“As we celebrate the Eid-ul-Fitri festival, we call on all Nigerians to use this occasion to pray for our beloved country, for peace, and for the prosperity of all our people.Once again, congratulations to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Nigeria,” the statement said.
