For the record...Easter = pagan Roman sun god day. Really. Read up on it. Nearly all the symbols can be traced to pagan roots. The colored eggs are from Babylonian tradition and can be found on thier pottery. The rabbit is a pagan symbol of spring time fertility...same with the flowers. It's basically just a pagan "life/spring" festival.
Passover on the other hand is a very obvious Biblical symbol for the Messiah as Jesus was the last Passover lamb, causing the shadow of death to "pass over" all those who accept His redeeming blood. First Fruits is a Jewish harvest holiday that symbolizes the ressurection, as Jesus was the "first fruit" of the harvest to be taken up to heaven. Anywho...I suppose it does say somewhere in the NT that any day is the Lord's day if you want to dedicate it to Him sooo...Say hey to the Easter Bunny for me! ^-^ Even if he is a heretic.............

I thank Jesus for all he did for us. Even when the world says they hate Him, he still loves us..."

We went to church today then had a barbeque with chops, potatoe, onion, sausages, salads and prawns. It was great. Then I just layzed about with our bearded dragon lizards while we talked. Good family time. Night all.

In any case its a tradition for us. I'm celebrating the resurrection after all, not Estore or what-chu-ma-callit.
Those twice-a-year people have done wonders for my mum's business with their pastel everything that they'll wear once and not touch again (she's a seamstress btw and these last minute outfits are a killer!)
