    Within a matter of weeks it will be Easter time. Eggs will not only be hidden for little children to find but an egg is a symbol of life. Eggs are often the prime example used in a Christian Sunday school to visually explain the Resurrection of Jesus. The eggs shell represents the stone that separated his tomb from the outdoors.

In the words of Lucy Bert, if you want to study the living, you have to know a little bit about the dead.…

    As with almost all "Christian" holidays, Easter has a secular side as well. The dichotomous nature of Easter and its symbols, however, is not necessarily a modern fabrication. Easter has always had its non-religious side. In fact, Easter was originally a pagan festival. It was co-opted by Christian missionaries starting in the second century CE. Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25.…

Along with the rise in temperatures, our daylight hours increase and farmers use this extra time to cultivate the land and prepare for the planting of the crops. This is the time of year when the sky opens up with showers and love can be seen blooming all around us.…
