Easter is so early this year, falling on March 23^rd. We often think of Christmas as the most important holiday in the Christian calendar, but according to virtually all Christian religious scholars, Easter is far and away the most holy and important holiday of the year.

As Christian’s, we celebrate Christmas, commemorating the birth of the Christ child, Jesus, the son of God. Yet it is from his teachings and through his death and subsequent resurrection that our Christian faith has developed, persevered and grown throughout the ages. Such a powerful and world changing event the resurrection was; that the calendar that our entire world uses every day begins with and is centered around this momentous and miraculous event.

Easter seems to fall at just the right time of the year. The weather is turning for the better, the leaves are starting to come out on the trees, flowers begin to bloom, giving us many reasons to be not only thankful for what we have, but happy for the coming Spring season! What a great time of year!

Happy Spring and a very Happy and Joyous Easter!
