Resurrection Weekend

As a Christian, this time of year for me, is about the resurrection of Christ.

What my belief is that Jesus lived, died and rose again for us, all of us. It allows for forgiveness for all sins and victory over death. He gives our life meaning, purpose, hope, and strength.

Now, for Easter it can be defined in so many ways.

According to Aboutcom:
“The meaning of many different customs observed during Easter Sunday have been buried with time. Their origins lie in pre-Christian religions and Christianity. All in some way or another are a "salute to spring," marking re-birth. The white Easter lily has come to capture the glory of the holiday. The word "Easter" is named after Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. A festival was held in her honor every year at the vernal equinox.

The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit. Long ago, he was called the "Easter Hare." Hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility. The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg." (Some) Christians consider eggs to be "the seed of life" and so they are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”


So as I sing His Praises this weekend along with many others, may our voices be heard from the top of the highest mountains and to the bottoms of every sea. We will celebrate this weekend in Glory and know it is about the Ultimate Love Story, the one on the cross.

No symbolic object is needed.
