Truthfully, Easter has never been my holiday. I don’t particularly have any affinity for the Christian tradition; but, it had always been a day to gather with family and enjoy a good meal, and to welcome the coming of spring (or some years, the full on coming of summer). Today it was that again, and I’m so grateful for it. We should think very critically and very carefully about our traditions; to throw them away wantonly would be foolish. There may be aspects of our heritage we no longer identify with, but there’s also likely many things that have continued for a reason. Easter was something I was glad to partake in today. To the coming of spring, and to all the new life we will experience moving forward.
