Easter is an annual Christian festival to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is observed on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Just this past week we observed the vernal equinox or what we call the first day of spring. Christians believe after dying on the cross Christ arose from the dead. Although we have overcast weather and we can't see it the full moon is today.
Christ rising from the dead is suppose to be a symbol of new life and hope for all our salvation. After being commercialized over the centuries a lot of us see this symbol in Easter eggs, Easter flowers, brightly colored chicks, baby bunnies and candy. It's a fun way of saying there is hope after the cold winter months. For that I am very grateful.
Hope you all have a joyous & happy Easter. Don't pay any attention to the snow. It will go away. I hope & pray...

Happy to see that someone still knows and cares what Easter is about. Where I am, many think it's all about the eggs and peeps.I don't mind sharing the celebration of Spring with those who don't buy the Easter story, but let us not forget why we have the holiday in the first place - same with Christmas.
I think Easter is the most important Christian holiday. We should all be thankful for Gods grace everyday.
Amen...
