Easter is a time of renewal both in the spiritual and the physical sphere.
At Easter time, Christendom commemorates the conquest by Jesus Christ of physical death, and how He opened the gates of heaven for us. Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring. But this year s Easter is very special because it is the first in this century, which is in turn the first century of the new millennium. For us Filipinos, it is also a new political chapter in our history, and many of us are filled with joy and the hope that things would be better.
