Easter Holiday At Its Best

Nowadays we get Easter baskets and fill them with colorful grass and candy. Then we dye and decorate eggs and have easter egg hunts. Oh, don't forget about pictures with the Easter Bunny!!! All of which most of us experience in our childhood and still experience in our adulthood --->ME<--- Hahaha... Now on a serious note I really want to talk about what Easter means to you not on a surface level but more on a deeper level. 

Here in Arizona we hold an annual event called, "The Easter Pageant". Rather than having me explain what Easter means to me or us as Christians it's best to witness with your own eyes. This event is nothing less than emotionally inspiring, beautiful, brilliant and amazingly touching. It hits the heart in ways you never knew you could feel. Many people describe the feeling as a burning in your chest. Not heart burn but a good type of burn. The feeling you get when you do something right. The link below is the information about the Easter Pageant. Unfortunately, today is the last day but as I mentioned above this event is annual and should definitely be on your "Things To Do With Your Family" list. So if you have not seen the Easter pageant I highly recommend that you go at least once. Who knows? It may even become a tradition for you and your family to go every year ;)

My point of view is that the subject of Easter Sunday cannot be explained in just one paragraph. In fact it would not do justice to the meaning of Easter Sunday. That is why I recommended for you to go and watch the Easter Pageant. It is for all religions and no one will ever be turned away. But as far as what I can say about Easter Sunday is that it should be celebrated with your family. Whether you are attending church or decorating eggs I believe that things should be done together. Create those memories with your children (if you have kids). It will definitely leave a lasting affect in your child's heart. If you are single or married without children then spend those moments with your loved ones. Every year my husband and I try to take our family to the Easter Pageant. Fortunately, my wonderful husband has been able to participate in the event as a Roman Soldier and his acting is amazing. He never ceases to impress me with his many talents. These moments spent together as a family have been truly memorable and irreplaceable. I challenge you to build memories with your family that you and your loved ones can keep for a lifetime.
