On August 12, 2024, the activities of the Holy Supper began with the celebration of the Welcoming Ceremony. Delegations waved flags of triumph as they arrived at the most solemn festivity of The Light of the World faith.
From that day on, the faithful began receiving biblical teachings during the three days of festivities. During the day, families visited the photo gallery that displayed images of previous Holy Suppers as well temples built for the glory of God.
On August 13, hundreds of people were baptized. After confidently answering the questions of the profession of faith, they were baptized in water by the officiating ministers who invoked the name of Jesus Christ. In this way, they became part of the spiritual body of Christ.
The awaited moment arrived on the afternoon of August 14. With overflowing joy due to the solemnity of the Holy Supper, the guests at the Lord’s table praised God with songs and words describing the passion, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The choirs present at the celebration did the same, their songs resonating throughout the event from beginning to end.
A memorable moment of the festivity came when the apostolic delegate read a message from the Apostle of Jesus Christ, Naasón Joaquín García, which brought spiritual joy to those gathered.
Then the ministers distributed the bread to all the brethren, expressing as they did: “Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me.” Next, they distributed the fruit of the vine with these words: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11:24-25).
At the end of the commemoration, there was a fraternal farewell to the faithful, who were urged to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ as they returned to their homes. The grand event concluded with a message of fraternity to society, while proclaiming the values that distinguish The Light of The World : fraternity, peace, love, faith, hope, respect for human rights, solidarity, and inclusion, among other principles taught by apostolic doctrine.
