Finally, Easter Sunday arrives -
Easter (Greek: Πάσχα Paskha, from Hebrew: פֶּסַח Pesakh,) is the most important annual religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.[1] According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Some Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday[2] (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between AD 26 and AD 36. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance.
The most attended Church services in our communities.

Whatever your traditions and usual observances my prayer for these next days for each of us is a clearer understanding of Jesus and His sacrifice for each of us. 
May these lyrics ring in your hearts -
     " Christ has for sin atonement made-What a wonderful Savior!  We are redeemed, the price is paid-What a wonderful Savior!  What a wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Jesus!  What a wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Lord!"
Happy Easter!
