Laura Trahan (38,784)     
Laura Trahan 
Easter is my favorite holiday of the year. It means so much to me because it is really the one time of the year that the sacrifice made for us by Christ is actually recognized. Even non-Christians stop to see the significance of the day.

Michael Kocis
Many things have been written about Easter, from how the Easter bunny came to be to why we decorate chicken eggs, all the way up to the original meaning of this day, Jesus rising from the dead.

Easter---A New Beginning For All -
Sandra E. Graham (7,883)

Which Came First, the Bunny or the Egg -
Chloe Matthews (3) 
On Easter morning, you’ll find hordes of kids searching for
treats from the moment their eyes open. The prospect of finding scads of treats
left behind by the Easter bunny, including the ever-important Easter egg, spurs
this early-morning enthusiasm.
No matter what your religious... ( added 2 years 224 days ago.) |

Laura Trahan (38,784)
Laura Trahan
It started out innocently enough. A peep here and a peep there and then another and another and another. You get the picture.
Between the Easter bunny, egg hunts and the in-laws, my kids have enough candy to put a normally sane person, such as myself, into a diabetic coma.
Hence the... ( added 208 days 12 hours ago.) |

- Gregory Lewis (1,603) 
Gregory Lewis
Easter is a holiday I cherish on a personal level, and is a great theme to write about. Very popular, too, I see by the numbers ofwritings on the subject.

Why do people celebrate Easter? Is it for candy, colored eggs and other gifts? I used to celebrate Easter for all those reasons. Today, I celebrate Easter because it is all about the gift of Jesus.

Jeff Brown (9,928)
Jeff Brown
You are transformed by scholastic theology,
