Kristi Kunitere N'ọnwụ

"Kristi Kunitere N'ọnwụ" is a triumphant Igbo Easter anthem that announces Christ’s glorious resurrection. The title translates to "Christ is Risen from the Dead," and the song captures the absolute joy of Easter morning. With its bright, rhythmic Alleluias, it is a perfect piece for the Entrance or Recessional during the Easter season, calling the whole congregation to rejoice in the victory over the grave.

The lyrics are a beautiful proclamation of faith, declaring that death no longer has any power over Him ("Ọnwụ enwerozi 'ke n'ebe Ọ nọ"). As the verses progress, the choir invites heaven and earth to rejoice, echoing the psalmist's cry that this is the day the Lord has made. The arrangement builds a sense of communal celebration, culminating in a powerful declaration of Christ's kingship and glory to God in the highest. It is a song that truly brings the Easter liturgy to life in the choir loft.
