Easter

The celebration of Easter commemorates the resurrection of Christ. Easter is also known as Pascha or Resurrection Sunday. Originally the celebration began around the Jewish Passover. In modern times we celebrate with the Easter bunny, Easter egg hunts, and Easter baskets. "According to The Reckoning of Time, an eighth century manuscript written by English monk and scholar Venerable Bede, many people held feasts in Eostre's honor. She was depicted cradling a woven basket in the crook of her arm. Thus, was the beginning of the Easter basket tradition." As we celebrate with candy and fun we should also think of the true meaning of Easter.
