Easter is a curious and yet fascinating occasion.
For one thing, it is traditional to celebrate it on the first Sunday after the first full moon of Spring. By now, the Spring Equinox, or Ostara as it becoming more well-known in the States, has already passed, and Easter itself is now upon us. It is his victory over death, and the promise of new life after death, be it symbolic or literal, as the latter was for Jesus. Even the Apostle Paul may have received his transformation by a near-death experience. But let us not forget the redemption that Jesus, as the Lamb of God, also gave to humanity when he sacrificed himself onto the cross.
