On the Day of Jesus' Resurrection/ Gjergj Luca builds houses and lays

Gjergj Luca and his great soul, on a great day, managed to make visible that greatness that does not seek to be proclaimed, but that occurs as a silent act of a high will, a will that does not speak with big words, but acts with open hands. Where many stop at the promise, he chooses to build; where rhetoric crashes into the air, he lays foundations.

"As the name suggests, so we gave it to them. We built a new house from the ground up for the Xhevahir family in the village of Griqan in Elbasan, where they can live happily and full of hope. Together with my colleagues from the Rozafa company, we chose the blessed Easter Saturday to double the joy of a family in need, without asking if they are blue or red... Happy new house, good people of this country!", writes Luca.

And in this sentence there is not just a wish, but an attitude, a philosophy that transcends division and embraces humanity.

And indeed, what is happening in Griqan is not simply the construction of a house. It is the rebuilding of a shaky faith, that there are still people who measure themselves by what they give, not by what they receive. A month and a half of work, to raise from the ground a shelter that today, on the day of Resurrection, takes on its fullest meaning, as a symbol of resurrection, of hope that does not give up, of life that seeks to flourish even in difficult conditions.

The sight of Rozafa employees arriving with gifts in their hands is not just a ceremonial. It is a silent procession of human dignity, where every step is a testament to a dedication that does not need applause. They do not go just to hand over a key, but to open a door, a door to a more dignified life.

Even the presence of Sali Berisha's photograph in that new house, placed among the gifts, takes on a double meaning, both as a subtle irony and as a clear statement that goodness does not need flags to be legitimized. What is built with work and heart, stands beyond affiliations, beyond the noise of politics, beyond the smoke of clashes and the fire of Molotov cocktails.

"We are eating this dessert for the prosperity of this new house... and to return to work, to build other houses... to be close to anyone in need..., as much as we can," says Luca. And in this simplicity of words, a great human project is hidden, that of the continuity of goodness, of a chain of deeds that do not end with one act, but increase like lights in a long night.

This house in Griqan is not just a physical construction. It is a metaphor for what can be done when will meets compassion, when work is united with faith in man. On this great Night of Resurrection, what is inaugurated is not just a shelter, but a testament that resurrection is not just a divine act; it can also be a human work.
