Jesus is risen, Hallelujah

Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ has risen so let's all gorge ourselves on chocolates. Happy Easter everybody.

At least with Christmas you get the odd story about a baby being born in a stable and shepherds and things. I abhor the commercialisation of Easter more than the commercialisation of Christmas (or Xmas as it is correctly known). Easter is the most important event in the Christian calendar, but it pales into insignificance next to Christmas, at least judging by the TV schedules. People get born in unusual circumstances all the time, but the whole dying on the cross and being resurrected is what makes Jesus the special person he is today. A fact completely overlooked by the card industry.

Nothing about these delightful place settings make me think of the true meaning of Easter.Hmm..., we are having lamb for lunch, and had eggs for breakfast. People should eat more rabbit at Easter. Makes sense to me.

Now Easter has become associated with daffodils and eggs and chicks and lambs and new life and stuff because it coincides with spring. At least it does in the northern hemisphere. I wonder if in Australia, after they have had their summer Christmas BBQ on the beach they decorate their houses with pine cones and conkers and harvest things to celebrate Easter. Having said all that, here are some pictures of Tulips I took in my Garden recently.
