Easter - Someone to Listen

Easter means many things to different people, and to some it has no meaning at all.

The colloquial view is bunnies, colored eggs, baskets, new "Sunday" outfits and of course, shiny new shoes. Patent leather if you are a girl.

Just as Passover (Pesach) is a tradition with deep meaning for observant Jews, Easter (Pascha in Greek) is significant to Christians.

Both Passover and Easter are 8 day celebrations excluding Lent which starts 40 days before Easter.

This year Passover and Easter holidays overlap for the first time since 2012.

Perhaps it is more than just a coincidence.
