Above / Did you know? Victorian postcards were prominently featured at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, which boosted their visibility and use. Victorian Easter postcards, many with joyful greetings and humorous illustrations of chicks, eggs and bunnies, followed to become popular collectibles.
Find faith, hope and courage in nature and the holidays that connect in spring. Easter arrives like the daffodils and other flowers that grace the local landscape where peaceful places such as the Riverwalk welcome visitors.
Christians believe that Easter, like Passover, is a time of rescue and renewal. Jesus was celebrating the Jewish festival of Passover shortly before he was arrested and sentenced. Easter celebrates the return to life of Jesus Christ after His Crucifixion. Christians say that by His death and Resurrection, Jesus rescued them from eternal death and punishment for their sins.
Known as a movable feast, Easter is observed on the first Sunday after the full moon following the first day of spring equinox.
With loving hearts, open minds and good faith, celebrate the traditions and natural wonders of this day and every day.
God bless us every one. Happy springtime! Happy Easter!
