He is Risen!

What a beautiful Easter weekend we had. We hope you and your family had a fantastic Easter holiday filled with love, hope, and joy.

Easter time is a time of renewal and so is Spring. We begin to see new life sprouting from the ground. We see the birds beginning to prepare for babies to be born, the snow is gone, and buds begin to reveal themselves on our trees. 

At Easter, we eat delicious foods, we gather with our loved ones, we may hunt for Easter eggs, and indulge in goodies like chocolate. But Easter is about much more.

Jesus’ death on Good Friday and resurrection on Easter Sunday gives us hope. Jesus asks us to be more like Him. How can we serve others? What can we do on earth to walk in the footsteps of Christ?

Why doesn’t Easter fall on the same day every year? Did you know that unlike most holidays which have a set date each year, Easter celebrations are tied to the lunar cycles? Thus, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. 

What family traditions do you have at Easter time?

Why is Easter special for you?
