HAPPY HOLIDAY, WHATEVER YOU MAY BE CELEBRATING

For reasons that are still not entirely clear to me, Easter seems to be a very important Christian holiday  \It is also one of the Jewish religion’s most sacred and widely observed holidays, Passover (Hebrew: Pesach) commemorates the story of the Israelites’ departure from ancient Egypt, which appears in the Hebrew Bible’s books of Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, among other texts. Oddly, many of us who celebrate holidays do so because they are there to be celebrated, not because we are aware of the history or cling to it.  Let's face it, it is a day off from work and time to be spent with dear family or friends.  (often times friends are dearer than family.)

With that, explore the history if that is what interests you....Google is full of references.  I for one will enjoy a great meal with people who want me with them and with whom I wish to be. You might also check out the History of the Goddess Ostara and Easter Eggs.

Have a wonderful day regardless of whether you celebrate one of the many things to which the day is dedicated.  I rather like the Easter Bunny, chocolate versions included, and the thrill in the faces of children when they receive their Easter baskets loaded with goodies.  For too short a time their brains allow them to fall for those adult fabrications like the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, and man in the image of God.
