Celebremos nossa Páscoa
CNBB
A Celebration of Faith and Renewal
The song "Celebremos nossa Páscoa" by CNBB is a hymn that celebrates Easter, a central event in the Christian faith symbolizing resurrection and new life. The lyrics are imbued with themes of gratitude, divine mercy, and the triumph of life over death, reflecting the joyous spirit of the Easter season.
The repeated exclamation 'Aleluia' underscores the song's tone of celebration and praise. The verses draw from biblical imagery and language, such as the 'mão direita do Senhor' (the right hand of the Lord), which is often associated with power and salvation in Christian theology. The reference to not dying but living to proclaim the Lord's deeds echoes the Christian belief in eternal life through Jesus Christ's resurrection.
The song also mentions the 'pedra que os pedreiros rejeitaram' (the stone the builders rejected), which is a metaphor for Jesus Christ, who was rejected by many but became the cornerstone of the Christian faith. The final verse invites believers to rejoice in the day the Lord has made, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and celebrating the divine hand in the creation of time and life itself. Overall, the song is a call to celebrate Easter with purity and truth, recognizing the enduring mercy of God and the transformative power of faith.
