EASTERific!



it's Easter Sunday! Happy! Triumphant! Egg-crashing EASTERific Sunday!

  i believe that i ought to write something about life and the glory of resurrection. not that i feel myself compelled to write something (or more likely it is.) duh, ditch that. well, this is it.

  Today's the last day of the holy week wherein people celebrates Jesus Christ's resurrection in various unique forms: Easter parties, Easter egg paint and hunt, Easter mass, processions, prayers, and many more. as for me, i think I'll be off to church later this afternoon for an Easter mass together with my family. and maybe i could have a one-on-one talk with my risen savior, which i regretfully didn't find time to do on the previous days. i hope i could find a silent corner somewhere, so that i could have a serener and spontaneous conversation with Him.

why does eggs always associated with Easter Sundays??

  Rabbits and eggs are both symbols of the fertility goddess Eostre/Ishtar/Ostara. Her symbol is also the moon, in which some cultures see a rabbit instead of a face. Eggs also symbolize the moon and are the ultimate symbol of creation and new life. The basket is a symbol of the womb in which this new life is carried.

  People have unique ways of celebrating, despite of, it's the sincerity that counts regardless of the means.  
    
     Let's all have a meaningful and rapturous Easter Sunday celebration!
