After the waving of the tree branches by the Jewish crowd and hosannas of Palm Sunday , the arrest of Jesus betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Olives, the imprisonment and humiliation of Holy Thursday night, the carrying of the Cross, crucifixion, and death at noon of Good Friday - Jesus Christ, the son of god rose from the tomb on Easter sunday, glorious and will never suffer and die again!
We celebrate the festival commemorating Christ's resurrection. In "Old english" the "Eastern" (NOT Easter!) has been marked by a ceremony as spring festival of the goddess of dawn.
Symbolically we see that Easter Resurrection depicted in various ways, which always point to life after death. Especially in other parts of the world (including my home country Germany), where deep winter makes all plants and trees 'SLEEP' for a couple of months, people enjoy the new shoots coming out of the trees' big trunks.
People enjoy the seedlings that protrude from the ground in spring, tyhe colorful little flowers that emerge from the soil. I still remember one of my most favorite spring and Easter flowers, the daffodil.
Nowadays, and also here in the Philippines, we enjoy the well-known Easter egg, out of which also the new life germinates.I am also pretty sure, you and I really enjoy the egg hunting with our beloveds.
A blessed Easter to all of you! Walk this day with great confidence in your heart, mind and soul. A lot of people await goodness and love, which you carry within. As Oprah Winfrey said: "People think that spirituality is about church or religion, but it's about you, about life!"
Ich wuensche Ihnen allen, meine lieben Leser, ein gesegnetes und froehliches Osterfest!
