ALLELUIA! CHRIST HAS RISIEN!

Today, Easter Sunday, we celebrate the glorious event of the Resurrection of Christ from the dead, destroying sin, and providing the promise of our own eternal life one day. “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it”. Psalm 118:24.

Easter is not just this one day; it is a season. We celebrate the Easter season for fifty days, ending Pentecost Sunday. Each day we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ reflecting on Jesus’ time He remained on earth before His Ascension to Heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father. It is to be a time of joy, renewal, and spiritual reflection with various customs in different countries. Some of the common symbols are eggs (new life), the lamb (representing Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb of God), water (which is used in Baptism), and fireworks (representing joy and light, especially in Greek and Italian customs), taken from Eastertide: How it’s Celebrated in the Americas and Across Europe: Peptide Sciences Ebook.

However you chose to celebrate this wonderful Day of Resurrection, may you be filled with purpose, joy and positives with a heart blessed with hope and renewal. Christ is Risen: Indeed, He is risen!
