Millions of Wuxi Expats to Celebrate Easter Sunday by Going to the Firing Range

Easter Sunday in the 2014 Year of the Firearm will be a busy day for millions of Wuxi Expats. Many will be attending church services in the morning and then going to their favorite firing ranges in the afternoon.

The Wuxi Second Dutch Reformed Church which offers parishioners opportunities for worship and skeet shooting will be particularly busy. Its pastor Norbert Friessen tells the Wuxi China Expatdom Blog that Easter Sunday will be the second busiest day of the year. “On a normal Sunday, we get three thousand worshipers to come to our services. This Easter Sunday, we will have probably twenty thousand worshipers and gun enthusiasts come to our church and firing range to celebrate the mystery of the resurrection of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.”

Asked what gun was particularly popular with his parishioners, Friessen said: “There is a pair that is always particularly popular with our congregation. Smith and Wesson!”
