Spring is in full bloom here in Virginia. Daffodils and tulips adorn the front of houses and along the roadsides. Virginia is beautiful in the spring. The redbud bushes and flowering trees are planted along many highways making it almost a pleasure to drive for miles and miles. Spring and the flowers bring new life to the world.
Soon Easter will be here and it's time to begin to color eggs, find something nice to wear on Easter day, to go to church, have Easter dinner with your familes and celebrate the day.
Easter in the Christian religion is the celebration of when Christ rose from the dead and the Easter egg has become a symbol of new life all over the world. It is interesting to read about the way different nations use the egg to celebrate Easter. Some countries paint the eggs red to symbolize the blood of Christ, some have very elaborate painting. Most people in the U.S. color the eggs solid colors and might decorate them with pictures or various designs. It's a memorable thing for parents and their children to do together. Our family, like many others,
fixed Easter baskets with colored eggs, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and pretty
ribbons. Children learn from traditions and hopefully keep them alive.
