My wonderful wife of 36 years got out of bed early this morning and started cooking. By 12 o'clock my home was full of screaming children and talkative adults. We sat down to eat at two o'clock and the food and all the family being
home was wonderful. Wish every day was like today. Today was all i expected and then some!!!

Easter is set by the first full moon after the vernal equinox. This is the one day in the year when day and night are roughly equal!

It varies by more than a month over the years and so it simply cannot represent the date of anyone's death!!!

It is in fact a combination of several pagan festivals most notably the spring festival.

The name Easter comes from “Eastre” an Anglo-Saxon pagan goddess. Even the Chinese have the festival of Ching Ming where flowers and sweets are put on their ancestors graves!!

The egg and the rabbit are symbols of springtime and rebirth!

Fun to watch the Christians worshiping a pagan festival though - makes it just like Christmas when they do the same thing!!!

Not sure yet! Mine's not over!

So far though, I've been having a good day. My parents are away, as well as my little sister. I haven't eaten any chocolate or candy, haven't seen ANY eggs, and haven't really spent any time with friends.

I'm having a very relaxing easter so far!

Thank you for asking! Hope yours is good too!

Yes I did, I went to church and then had brunch with my family and close friends. Our sermon this morning, "you too can have a risen life"

I like living this kind of life, I'm living a blessed life!! Happy Easter to you as well and I hope it all what you wanted it too be!

no I had a job interview at 12 so I couldn't go to church. My husband is in the military so he works from 4 am to 6 pm so lonely.

No. My friend was murdered last month. It's still been a very hard. Time is the greatest healer though.
