The girls are on school holidays starting today, so we got straight into our first activity....dyeing eggs to decorate the family easter table!
The Easter egg is finished. I added a little Dichroic glass cabachon on the top. Seed beads in peyote stitch on plastic egg.

I made this wreath by glueing plastic easter eggs onto a styrofoam base then added the ribbon. Very easy and cheap to make.

From the NASA Earth Observatory website: On September 25, 2002, astronauts aboard the International Space Station viewed Easter Island, one of the most remote locations on Earth. Easter Island is more than 2000 miles from the closest populations on Tahiti and Chile—even more remote than astronauts orbiting at 210 n.mi. above the Earth. The island is less than 15 miles long and, until now, has been a photographic challenge for astronauts on space missions.
Although not visible here, Easter Island is perhaps most famous for the giant stone monoliths, known as Moai, that have been placed along the coastline. Archaeologists believe the island was discovered and colonized by Polynesians at about 400 AD. Subsequently, a unique culture developed. The human population grew to levels that could not be sustained by the island. A civil war resulted, and the island’s deforestation and ecosystem collapse was nearly complete. Today, a new forest (primarily eucalyptus) has been established in the center of the island (dark green).
The geography of the island is dominated by volcanic landforms, including the large crater Rana Kao at the southwest end of the island and a line of cinder cones that stretch north from the central mountain. A final feature (difficult to see) is the very long runway (Chile’s longest) near Rana Kao. The airport serves as an emergency landing site for the Space Shuttle.
The Great Paschal Vigil is the apex of the Church's liturgical year and is the solemnity upon which the rest of the year revolves. It was on the first Easter that the Lord's disciples discovered the empty tomb, indicating that Christ had risen from the dead.
By His Resurrection Jesus Christ triumphed over death, paid the debt that came through the sin of Adam, and thus opened the gates of Heaven to mankind. Thus, the Lord's Resurrection on Easter thus marks the turning point in salvation history.
It is for this reason that Christians have great reason to rejoice in the new life brought to us by the Risen Savior. Salvation has come at last! For this reason, the Church resumes the use of the word "alleluia" which is said with even greater frequency and fervor for the rest of the fifty days of the Easter season, also known as 'Paschaltide.' The Church also rejoices at the birth of many new children through the waters of Baptism.
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is no mere historical event relegated to history but a living reality which Christians experience again and again each year. It is an ever ancient and ever new mystery that is re-presented each year. May all discover and receive the new life to be found in the Risen Savior.

This is a picture of the traditional Polish Easter basket, which we duly took to church today to be blessed. It basically contains a piece of food from all the Polish food groups (i.e. meat, salt, bread) (doughnuts don't fit), coloured hard-boiled eggs, the "lamb of God" (in our case a vintage one we used since I was little), and some green sprigs (not sure what they symbolise, but in they go every year). I also put in a couple of salt-dough painted shapes we made yesterday.
The idea is that all of this represents your food supply for the rest of the year, and is thus blessed.
It's about tradition rather than religion for me.
Wooden Polish Easter eggs. Paul hid them last night when he was over and I found them when I was getting ready this morning. A very fun surprise.
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, celebrated on the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, marks the beginning of the Paschal Season. On this most sacred night the Church announces with great vigor that "this is the night, when Christ broke the prison-bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld."
In the Exsultet, chanted by the Deacon, the Church solemnly proclaims that the fault of Adam has now been transformed into a happy fault which has "earned so great, so glorious a Savior." The Church's faithful seal this news of great joy with a solemn amen.
At St. John Cantius, the sense of paschal joy was only increased by the presence of the catechumens and candidates who were fully received into the Catholic Church. They and all those who were received into the Church at the Easter Vigil thus received the fruits of the Redemption by receiving the Sacraments of initiation instituted by our Risen Lord.
May we renew our commitment to live the Gospel in our lives and proclaim to the world the glorious news of the Resurrection, for Christ our Passover has been sacrificed!
