His commemoration day is a celebration of our nation's birthday
The entire passage refers to the motives of ritual sacrifice and resurrection. I think these references should be kept in the translation.
Example sentence:
Shevchenko is not an idol, nor is he a god. He is not an icon. He is a Spirit. Our eternal and holy Spirit. His commemoration day is a celebration of our nation's birthday.
