As Bermuda prepares to observe the Good Friday holiday this coming weekend, the Minister of National Security, the Hon. Michael Weeks, JP, MP, is encouraging all residents to embrace the true spirit of the season — a time of reflection, renewal, and togetherness.
“This is a cherished time in Bermuda,” said Minister Weeks. “Good Friday holds a special place in our hearts and our culture. Whether you’re out flying your traditional Bermuda kite, playing marbles with family, or simply enjoying the company of friends and loved ones — this weekend is about celebrating life, community, and hope.”
Minister Weeks noted that while the long weekend is a joyous occasion, it is also a time when the island must be especially mindful of safety and unity.
“We celebrate Good Friday not only through our outdoor traditions but also by remembering its deeper meaning — the story of sacrifice, resurrection, and new beginnings,” he said. “This message of hope and peace should guide us not just in church pews but every interaction throughout the weekend.”
With many expected to be on the roads and at social gatherings, the Ministry is urging residents to take extra care, look out for one another, and make wise choices.
“I hope that we continue to honour this holiday in a way that reflects who we are as Bermudians — resilient, respectful, and community-minded,” Minister Weeks added. “Let us make this weekend one that uplifts, connects, and keeps us all safe.”
The Ministry of National Security wishes all residents a safe, meaningful, and joyful Good Friday and Easter weekend.
