SEC S17W1: "Let's celebrate the Arts."

Creative art and culture have become an integral part of my life, I am a person who loves taking pictures of wonderful and creative things around me.
Taking part in this wonderful contest makes me happy, and I am very happy happy to drop my entry into this wonderful challenge.

As a devoted Catholic Christian that I am, we always adore our Lord Jesus christ, and this is an image of him when he died on the cross for our sins.
Images God sending his only begotten som just to die fornour sins.
This image is a reminder of the suffering tat Jesus christ went for us for our sins, just for the salvation of the world so we as Catholics always adore this image so that we can show appreciation to our Lord Jesus christ who died for us.

As you can see above, his hand is always open to accepting sinners into repentance, so I urge all of us to leave our lives according to the teaching of the church.

This is a wonderful image that I captured during the celebration of the famous event in our area known as the West Aftican Social Activities, which is celebrated once every year in my community.
During this occasion, different ethnic groups in my country, Nigeria, come and showcase their culture through dancing, singing music, and also acting of drama that will make you very happy.
I enjoyed this activity as it was a memorable one, infact thus year celebration was different from last years own because it was very unique.

Good Friday is the day that every Christian mourn for the death of our Lord Jesus christ and we Catholic commemorate this day by doing some passion play drama to remember each and every one of us what Jesus christ went through for our sake.
This image is hold a very special story, because the boy you see pm white was the person that played the part of Jesus christ and it was very real, and I didn't even know when tears rush down my eyes.
Every good Friday we gather and after a play of what Jesus went for our sake, and also some of us will dress like soldiers with cane in our hands flogging Jesus, the picture above have a lot of art and drama in it and I decided to share it with you.

The image above is an image of Jesus and his mother Mary, as a Catholic we have a society name block rosary where we come together to pray for our great nation Nigeria so we use this image as a reference to Jesus and his mother Mary.

This picture above reminded me of when I participated in quenching a fire in my area that nearly entered our cassava farm, I was at home when I received a call from my dad that fire have just entered into our farm and i quickly went and change into a good clothes so that I can assist in stopping the fire from escalating.
Thank God that some soldiers in our barracks were around to assist in quenching the fire.
Fireoutbreak is very dangerous to our lives, and it was a horrible experience for me, but I thank God that everything ended well.

An image of our mother Mary on the alter, this is a picture of the mother of Jesus, and we always honour her as Catholics when necessary.
Catholics are devoted to honouring the mother of Jesus, unlike other churches. Our mother, Mary, who is the queen of all angels, has a special place in our life, and she helps in interceding for us.

Jesus christ, the son of the most high God, as Catholic, we adore Jesus all the time, and some churches think we worship images, but no, this image reminds us of Jesus christ and we always go to home for prayers because we believe that God is present in that image.

This picture contains that drum set, piano, and also local band in my church.
You know, as a lover of music, a church without all these instruments is nothing, and it won't be enjoyable.
So this is a picture of some of the instruments in our church and it makes me happy whenever I see it, because playing this drum will make you dance and forget about your sorrows.

Visiting a ship has always been my dream in life, and I finally had the opportunity when I went to the ship to do some installation of air conditioners and it was a memorable day for me because I enjoyed every moment that I spent there.
Inside the ship is just like a house and I was very happy entering inside the ship because I had the opportunity to eat some seafood.

This is a trophy that me and my choir members wom during a competition organised by tye commanding officer in our barracks, as a family that we are we decided to commemorate last year festive season by organising a singing competition between choristers in our community.
We prepared very well and we came out victorious, this was the trophy that we won and also a cash prize of 50,000 NGN.

This image contains all the vestments used by a priest during eucharistic celebration of mass, you can see that they are different colours in it and how unique it looks.
