Just a few days ago, I was interviewed by a local newspaper for our egg hunt. The reporter asked me why did we do this outreach. Besides saying the normal "we are apart of the community, we want to give back." I said that it is still the only holiday that has it's roots still in what it started to be. The reporter went silent, and said, "You're right!" I told her that is the reason why we do it. To remind those why we celebrate Easter. Not many movies are made for this time of the year, it is a holiday that is recognized on the calendar, but many use it as a holiday away from the mundane. Schools take it off, but call is spring recess. Many use it as a time of sales, but yet nothing about why it is celebrated. That is why people go to church that weekend. Because they still feel that sense of tradition.
Even though our egg hunt will be for the kids, and the community. I still feel that the reason why this holiday is celebrated should be told to everyone. That way they have the sense why we as Christians are so joyful. Because we follow and worship a God that is ALIVE!
HAPPY EASTER!
