@Amanda84 For me it's a time to sit and reflect and embrace nature, enjoy and appreciate the beauty and colour of the landscape, listening to the sound of the birds and the lambs. It's a time to reflect on my faith, how important Jesus is in my life and am I living a life that puts Jesus first, am i a good example? Am I an ambassador for Him in a world that constantly neglects him? It's a time for fun and excitement, the Easter bunny and truckloads of chocolate eggs 😁
@Amanda84
I reckon I'll take a leaf from your book and treat Easter in the same way. I used to not really care about it or understand it, but you seem to. I think you're onto something. Why not make the most of it? Doesn't seem like it would be any extra effort. Actually sounds rewarding and fun.
@cyanessence it is all those things when people understand it's true meaning and beauty and embrace it 💜🥰
@Amanda84
In the interest of learning I have begun exploring what Jesus was teaching. I don't care if I'm agnostic, he seemed to have a heart of pure light and was a true empath. I'm not sure he's real but if he is, he is my inspiration.
@cyanessence Im a Catholic, so he's very real for me ♥️ but it's very interesting to hear that you are an agnostic and how you view things. I love when we can co exist and hold different opinions and beliefs 💜🥰
@Amanda84
I'm open to a conversion. I'm trying to have an open mind. I'm just not ready.
I believe we can all collaborate precisely because of our differences. Everyone has a fresh perspective to offer.
@cyanessence I second that 💜🥰
@Amanda84
Well, as a Slovak, Easter is kind of a nightmare for me, lol. I love it in the religious sense, but when it comes to the traditional stuff, nahhh, not a fan.
This is the kind of nightmare we go through here on Easter Monday:
@Yulianaxxp thanks for sharing, I love hearing other people's experiences and traditions. I understand the importance of the faith aspect, that tradition for sure looks intense!
In Romania it’s a big holiday. So… I managed to get through the social anxiety to come and stay with my family. Great food and relaxing. Happy Easter to you!
@cosmindan08I am so glad you managed to come and spend time with your family, family is most important 🥰 and I admire you for persevering because social anxiety sucks and is very difficult. I have never been to Romania, but greetings to you and your family, nice to meet you and have a blessed Easter 😊
Easter is about family!
@Jaguar11 Precisely, I am a big family person, a home bird. I love going to the Sunday Mass and then having dinner with family, and playing with the children, remembering what's most important cannot be bought 🥰 thanks for your input, nice to meet you and have a blessed Easter 😊
@Amanda84. For me it means enjoying the flowers, the smells of spring and all of the bright colors
@amusingWest5360 You are after my own heart. The colours lift me up, the vibrancy, the light, the beauty, there's something so enriching about it, thanks so much for your input 🥰
@Amanda84 Today is Easter Sunday, can I take the time to wish each and everyone of you peace, love, happiness and blessings. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers and for anyone who might be non religious or of a different faith, sending you good thoughts and happiness. Would love to hear how people of a different faith to Catholicism celebrate Easter 🥰
@Amanda84 Entirely and only God, the eggs, the chocolate, the rabbits doesn't matter and ounce to me, just God does
@genericbeing you are right, God comes first 🥰
The lamb of Jesus before the bunny 🥰
@Amanda84 To me Easter is a time of birth and rebirth. I try to think about Jesus life, his message, death on the cross and resurrection. It reminds me life is sacred, holy, and precious. It reminds me no matter how dark the world is and gets there is a future ahead for all of us. Christ came not to make us perfect, yet make us holy. Easter is also a time to spend with family, loved ones and enjoy a good meal 😇🙂💛💙💜💚
@WellsFiction thanks so much for your input, you have captured it so perfectly, we never have to fear once we know Jesus is on our side 🥰
@Amanda84 Easter means to me is healing seperating Form what bothers me give it to the lord god separating from
