The Cross, the Egg, and the Lamb

"Look up from earth, O weary souls,"

Sweet Easter angels sing, 

"Jesus the Lord is risen indeed,

Of men and angels king."

Greeting from an Antique Postcard

When Jesus was crucified, the cross was a symbol of suffering.  
After the resurrection of Christ,
the cross became a symbol of Jesus' victory over death.

The colorful eggs that are associated with Easter 

are a symbol of the rock tomb out of which Christ emerged

to the new life of His Resurrection.

The lamb is the most significant symbol of the Easter holiday

since the lamb is said to represent Christ --

The Lamb of God.

Wishing you a Blessed Easter!

Until next time, live and love well.

Hopping Down the Bunny Trail

My Easter decorating certainly has a theme.

It seems everywhere you look,

bunnies have taken up residence in my home. 

A pale blue pitcher features a family of bunnies

 and has a curved carrot for a handle.

A colorful plate fills a corner in the kitchen.

Here's a look at all of the treasures

in my kitchen Easter grouping.

I moved the basket to the table to get a better look

at the pink fuzzy bunny who found a resting place

among a basket of pastel eggs.

A small round basket with a painted cover

adds color to the mantle.

A white plush bunny leaves his hiding place

 behind a ceramic basket with a handle of decorated eggs. 

A fellow named Buttercup rests near a seasonal pillow.

Even this little toddler shows off the bunnies 

scampering across her purple Easter pinafore.

And, the doorman cannot hide his pink ears under his hat!

Thanks for joining me on this tour!

Until next time, live and love well.

Sing a Song for Easter

Bunnies and chicks are expressing their Easter joy in song!

Hurray, It's Easter Day!

The seeds and flow'rs all sleep so sound,

'Til Easter time, glad Easter time,

And then they spring up from the ground

At happy Easter time,

And as they rise, they seem to say

"Hurray, it's Easter Day!"

The songbirds all return again,

At Easter time, glad Easter time,

The chicks peep 'round their mother hen,

At happy Easter time,

And as they sing, they seem to say,

"Hurray, it's Easter Day!"

The butterflies and bees arise,

At Easter time, glad Easter time,

And spread their wee wings in surprise,

At happy Easter time,

And as they fly, they seem to say,

"Hurray, it's Easter Day!"
