The messages on this day aren’t necessarily supposed to be serious. In fact, it is encouraged to wear shirts with fun designs and messages on them, which actually promotes the purpose of the day better. To further celebrate and take pride in Christianity, a number of events are hosted in neighborhoods and local centers; there is free food, music, discussions on faith and spirituality, contests for best t-shirt designs, and even free clothing giveaways. Afterward, you can share pictures of your day and spread awareness of the teachings of Jesus on social media.Christianity is a religion in which its adherents make up around 31% of the total population on Earth. With 2.4 billion people on earth associating themselves with Christianity and increasing by 1.18% per year, the aim is to spread the message of Christ to all the inhabitants of the earth and invite them to the Christian faith.
