What is Easter? Easter or Resurrection Sunday is a holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead after his crucifixion by Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. It is the most well attended church service of the year.
The celebration consist of making colorful Easter eggs, Easter egg hunt, Easter baskets with many Easter candies and goodies in it. Did you know that there are more candy sales on Easter than Halloween? I cannot believe it when I heard it, but going through the candy isle in the grocery stores, you can see why. You can also see some candy that you can find only in Easter which are sooo good and yummmy! Even though the candies have pastel colors, they are still very colorful.
On this special day, let us all pray for world peace. May God bless all of us!!
Have a safe, wonderful and blessed Easter!!

Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday is observed by Catholics on Thursday before Easter. It is the day of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his apostles before his betrayal, his trial and his crucifixion.
This is a solemn observance where he humbles himself by washing the feet of his apostles prior to the Last Supper. In churches around the world, the priest does the washing of the feet during the service. My gosh, can you imagine how he lowered himself to the rank of slaves by washing his apostles' feet? I am in awe of what He did and the succession of events that unfolded after the Last Supper. I could just imagine that He could have taken the easy way out, but because of His love for us, He endured many demeaning and horrific things.
How many of us will do the same to save someone? One? Two? None? Sad to say, but we live in a society that is full of pride, selfishness, arrogance, anger, etc. Why can't we follow in Jesus' footsteps? Because we are cowards...we do not want to be ridiculed! We want a life that is full of glory and riches with no concern of anybody else! Am I right? Or are these words too harsh? Maybe? Maybe not?
We really have a lot to learn from Jesus. He loves us soo much that He did what He did! Is it not time to change our ways....love others and erase hate in our vocabulary? Let us all try to follow God's way. Maybe then, there will be world peace! Am I asking for a tall order? Maybe, but I believe in miracles! And I know that miracles do exist!
