On Saturday, April 12, 2025, Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world will observe the annual Memorial of Jesus Christ’s death.

The annual Memorial of Jesus Christ’s death is a solemn observance that holds significant spiritual importance, commemorating the profound sacrifice he made for humanity.

This event involves gathering with fellow believers to reflect on his final hours and renew one’s faith and commitment to his teachings through prayer, scripture readings, and the sharing of communal bread and wine, symbolizing his body and blood.

This event is the most sacred occasion on their religious calendar.

It commemorates the death of Jesus Christ, which they believe opened the way for everlasting life.

The observance is based on Jesus’ words recorded at Luke 22:19.

He said to his disciples: “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses take this command seriously and have kept this tradition yearly across more than 240 lands.

The event involves a Bible-based talk explaining the significance of Jesus’ death and what it means for all people today.
