Easter's special call
Our Christ has risen today
Make a joyful noise

Happy Easter! Happy Passover! What I love about Easter is that spirit of renewal that descends on us as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ. It is an auspicious time for reflection and renewal. It is also a great way to welcome the spring and for those who like the other rituals we attach to the season., there is so much to celebrate. I've added a prayer from Saint John of Damascus to the card above and there is more below. Read and enjoy! Now let the heavens be joyful...

More Below!



"Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life." S.D. Gordon

Haiku: Easter Greetings...

Easter renewals
Shed all regrets for resolve
Jesus has arrived


As we move forward this spring and prepare for the summer, I send each of you blessings for success in all you do. When the going gets tough, remember to say... "I will arise" just like Richard Le Gallienne suggests in the prayer above.



Some Food for Thought: Do you have memories of Easter? What is your best memory of it? And your worst? What do you think of ll he other ways it is celebrated: Easter bunny, egg hunt etc?Take a moment to contemplate what Easter means to you? Love and Peace in 2013.
I would love to hear from you: Please leave me a comment. Thank You!

    This is probably one of the most important things that we celebrate...it is the one that gives us hope and eternity.

    We don't celebrate Easter because we're Muslim, but I know that Easter is one of the special occasion for all Christians because it gives hope :)

    I mostly remember Easters with my brother and stuffed bunnies, candy and baskets. I remember two of them were bad since my brother died near Easter and so did my uncle.

    Thank you for the reminder for the true reason for this Easter holiday, which is the fact that Christ rose from the dead for us.

    Easter means new life -- new life through the sacrifice of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection we can have a new life, and eternal life one day! We love celebrating Easter for that reason :-)

    Haiku is an amazing form, I used it to start to woo my wife when we started dating. The symbolism of rebirth in spring is such a universal, powerful thing.

    Easter always brings back childhood memories. It was that Sunday of the year that I always looked forward to. Back then when there was no cable, we were stuck with TV programs that weren't cartoons and since my Mom is very religious and observes Lenten practices, we have to follow. We abstain from meat and when we're older, we also practiced fasting. Unlike other families who go out of town or out of the country during Holy Week, we were the ones who usually stay behind. I bet you now understand why I'd always look forward to Easter.

    Now that I'm a grown-up, of course, I understand what the essence of Easter is. I'm a grown-up but I still look forward to Easter. Things changed a bit, but my family still observes the Lenten practices we got accustomed to. And, more than observing the practices, I value more what Easter stands for.

    Love these haikus. Easter means a lot to me because of the memories I have of egg hunts with my Dad. I wish my girls had gotten to one this year, but they both had a bug!

    My daughter was born on Easter Sunday so hands down that is the best Easter memory for me. Now that she's a toddler, I look forward to celebrating the holiday with her (egg hunts, Easter bunny in addition to her birthday!)
