This coming weekend, Christians will be celebrating the Easter Triduum (three days). Traditionally, this is Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil. Easter is the most important religious celebration of the Christian faith. For Christians, Christ’s rising from the dead is the ultimate proof of his divinity and his conquest over death and sin. This is the reason why some Christians refer to themselves as the Easter people.
Larry and I and our family would like to wish each and every one of you a blessed, happy and a safe Easter with your family and friends.
