On the evening of Saturday, April 12, Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world will gather for the annual commemoration of the death of Jesus Christ. Although there are more than 9 million Witnesses themselves, in previous years this special event attracted more than 20 million people!
– We know that there are many people in our towns and region who value spiritual matters, which is why every year we invite others to join us in commemorating the death of Jesus Christ – said Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesperson Zbigniew Malarski. – The aim of our month-long campaign is to invite as many residents of our local community as possible to this important event. Everyone is a welcome guest.
What is the Commemoration of Jesus’ Death like?
During the ceremony, a speech will be given explaining why Jesus died, what his death means for every person and how all humanity benefits from his sacrifice. This year, in Poland alone, the Commemoration will be held at hundreds of locations – and, interestingly, in as many as 13 languages. The starting time is 7:30 p.m.
- In Bolesławiec, Jehovah’s Witnesses and visiting guests will meet at 13c Gałczyńskiego Street
- In Lwówek Śląski, at the rented Sala Hotel Madelaine at 2 Henryka Brodatego Street

The program will be the same everywhere and will last about an hour. More information about how Jehovah’s Witnesses observe the Lord’s Evening Meal can be found in the online invitation on the official Jehovah’s Witnesses website.
In addition, on the weekend of April 5 and 6, a special talk entitled “Can the Truth Be Found?” will be given at local Kingdom Halls.
This 30-minute Bible-based public talk will emphasize what Jesus said about the truth and where it can be found in an age of increasing misinformation. The talk will be followed by a one-hour discussion on a Bible topic with audience participation.
