Resurrection George A. Crispin Woodbury MM E aster is not my favorite holiday. Yet it comes at that uplifting time of the year when it is needed most, the end of the gray days of February and the winds of March. First come the hyacinths, then the tulips, the air becomes warmer, the days sunnier.
Easter is a nice time of the year.
But Easter presents me with problems. It is a celebration throughout Christendom of the crucifixion and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. I do not think I really believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus, and the agonizing torture of a man nailed to a cross makes me shudder with horror. It leaves me sad and uninspired. The gospel accounts differ with regard to the details surrounding that event.
