Rebirth and Renewal
Easter is one of the most holy days in the Christian world. While secularists have tried to commercialize the day with bunnies, chocolate candy and dyed eggs, Easter Sunday holds a special meaning to the rest of us.
For sure, it is a time to attend church services and many families use this as an opportunity to gather for a Sunday meal that for some odd reason usually involves ham.
A deeper meaning for Easter is the message to Christians everywhere that this is a time for rebirth and renewal. Just as the death and resurrection of Jesus led to the birth of what would later be called the Christian religion, Easter gives us time to reflect and perhaps start in a new direction.
Blessings to all who are celebrating this holy day.
