Celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection without worrying about what people are thinking.

Have a blessed Easter, everyone! Nice reflection, Julie, thank you!

The year my dad passed away was the day after Easter. No matter what the calendar says, I always think of the day of his passing as the day after Easter. Have a blessed Easter!!

It’s appropriate that you picked Vittore Carpaccio’s ”Preparation of Christ’s Tomb” as the artwork to begin you reflection. At least for me, it makes me stop and ponder the day after The Crucifixion. The painting seems wonderfully disjointed, which best describes how I feel on Holy Saturday.

You have covered a lot of ground…Holy ground. From the joys of life to the sorrows of death it is the way God planned it. The news at the tomb shouted out he has risen. And for us that hope and newness of life that Easter brings helps us march on. Wonderful reflection. Happy Easter Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia.

Sometimes it is hard to have feelings when you are used to blocking them. It does help to have them explained. God bless and happy Easter.

I observed newly deceased, persons celebrating while others are mourning and being consoled, skeletons/skulls everywhere. This looks like a burial ground but there is so much going on……
Thanks for sharing the reflection with us.
