Easter is more than hardboiled eggs you decorated for your kids and the pretty Easter lily you can buy at the grocery store.
Easter is a moveable date, the time following the cycle of the sun.
Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism.
Easter is celebrated in different ways in the traditions of various church denominations.
It involves Lent, observed by some people as a 40 day period of fasting, prayer and penance. Holy Week, includes Maundy Thursday’s Last Supper, Good Friday commemorating the crucifixion, death, and burial of Jesus. Then on Sunday the celebration is the resurrection of Jesus.
And we remember other customs such as hunting for Easter eggs, the Easter bunny, and Easter parades. Kids got a new “Sunday dress.” And what fun seeing women wearing pretty hats with their outfits.
