Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you
From 'Mary did you know' by Mark Lowry
Easter is just around the corner and as we approach it, we ought to take time to reflect upon what it means to us and Christians around the world. Why is Christ's resurrection so important for us to celebrate? What does it symbolize?
Also, it is important to recognize Mother Mary's role, as God's choice to bear His son, and her influence on the baby Jesus. It is often said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Why is Mary spoken so much about but not Joseph? There has to be some sort of importance that gives Mary so much significance in the history of Christianity that we ought not to overlook.
Often enough, we look at the subject matter on its own, but we tend to forget the context that allows for its occurance.
What will this Easter mean to you?

sheepie,
why is easter always linked with easter bunnies, hiding easter eggs and chocolate bunnies and eggs?
why?
hmmm... good question.
It is suppose to be that the hard-boiled egg is traditionally painted in red to symbolized the blood of Christ (eternal life) and the breaking of the shell as the opening of the tomb of Christ (his resurrection).
The bunny and the hiding egg bit is considered non-religious Easter tradition, probably to keep kids entertained while the adults attend service. Not too sure about the last bit, but it sounds believable!
hard boiled egg painted in red? sounds like the baby's full moon celebration thingy. where they have the nasi kunyit and the red egg!!
