Although I do not follow the Christian Faith many of my friends and family do. I wish all who do a Happy Easter!
Did you know:
Easter gets its name from Eoster, a Teutonic spring goddess. It was originally celebrated on the spring equinox when the day is in balance with the night, and so we will again have more light than darkness. It was therefore the perfect time to celebrate the resurrected deity, whether it's Osiris, Mithras, Odin, Persephone, or Jesus Christ .
Everywhere we look there are flowers, chicks, rabbits, and colored eggs! All symbols of new life and fertility and have been part of spring celebrations for thousands of years.
The lily, now thought of more as a symbol of death, was a symbol of life to the ancient Greeks and romans, and they decorated their Spring altars with them. Young men would offer them in the way that men now offer diamond rings.
Where ever this Easter Holiday takes you enjoy!
