Amata’s Statement in Celebration of White Sunday

"I always deeply enjoy the sight of our children on White Sunday, especially viewing this beautiful tradition as a mother and grandmother. On this day, each year, we celebrate the children of our islands, knowing they are a gift to us from the Lord. This is among our most special days, as it is both celebratory and promotes a serious message of responsibility in raising up the next generation.

"We are a people of strong faith, and we rejoice in our youth as they serve the Lord, follow our way, and stay on right paths. We know God will lead them by still waters throughout their lives. This White Sunday, we are reminded of the importance of our Christian commitment, as we trust in God's eternal blessings on our families and children. Have a wonderful White Sunday!"

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them… Psalm 127:3-4
