Easter Lilies are one of the few spring blooming bulbs that blooms and multiplies in this part of Florida.
Happy Easter!
Eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth in different faiths and religions.
In the case of Mesopotamia, the Easter egg comes from the fertility Goddess Ishtar, (Astarte, Ashera, Astaroth, Inanna), worshiped by the Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Canaanites...
Ishtar is the origin of the name given in English to the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus on the third day, a celebration that is called Easter and in German, Ostern.
Between the 9th and 18th centuries, the Church prohibited the consumption of eggs during Lent, considering it equivalent to meat, and for this reason people cooked and painted them to differentiate them from frescoes and to be able to consume them on Easter Day.
Over time, these traditions were incorporated into the Easter festivity and today the Easter egg is a universal symbol.
For many, the egg resembles the resurrection as a symbol of new life.
Commerce and modernity, for their part, have been in charge of incorporating chocolate eggs, and plastic eggs to be filled with sweets, and which according to legend are hidden by the Easter rabbit for children to look for. and therefore, find them and eat them. (Source: Wikipedia)
HUEVOS DE PASCUA, 2023
¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!
Los huevos, en general, eran un símbolo tradicional de fertilidad y renacimiento en diferentes credos y religiones.
En el caso de Mesopotamia el huevo de Pascua viene de la Diosa de la fertilidad Ishtar, (Astarté, Asera, Astaroth, Inanna), adorada por los babilonios, asirios, fenicios, cananeos...
Ishtar es el origen del nombre que se da en idioma inglés a la celebración de la Resurrección de Jesús al tercer día, celebración a la que llaman Easter y en alemán, Ostern.
Entre los siglos IX y XVIII, la Iglesia prohibió el consumo de huevos durante la Cuaresma, considerándolos equivalentes a la carne, por lo que se cocinaban y pintaban para diferenciarlos de los frescos y poder consumirlos el día de Pascua.
Con el tiempo, estas tradiciones se incorporaron a la festividad de la Semana Santa y hoy en día el huevo de Pascua es un símbolo universal.
Para muchos, el huevo se asemeja a la resurrección como símbolo de una nueva vida.
El comercio y la modernidad, por su parte, se han encargado de incorporar los huevos de chocolate, y los huevos de plástico para rellenar con dulces, y que según la leyenda son escondidos por el conejo de Pascua para que los niños los busquen y por lo tanto, encontrarlos y comerlos.

The very first Easter taught us this:
that life never ends and love never dies.

I have sat on this shot for months waiting to post on Easter. This is a beautiful day. I hope you like the shot, because Christ's resurrection is something that should be celebrated every day. I hope in some way this shot represents the glory of this great day.

It was exactly a year ago that I was in Lima for Easter. How quickly everything can change ... hope remains - especially for people in countries that do not have such a well-developed health system …
Genau ein Jahr ist es her, dass ich zur Osterzeit in Lima, war. Wie schnell sich doch alles ändern kann...die Hoffnung bleibt - vor allem für die Menschen in Ländern, die nicht so ein gut ausgebautes Gesundheitswesen haben...
Happy Easter everyone ! Hope you are keeping safe during these crazy times !
The Easter bunny did visit in the spring a few years ago when my girls would come around - - but no visitors today
Easter Sunday April 9, 2023 If ever the world has need of a risen Savior it's now.
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” John 20:1-2
Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). John 20:11-16
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:26-29
Easter morn with lilies fair
Fills the church with perfumes rare,
As their clouds of incense rise,
Sweetest offerings to the skies.
Stately lilies pure and white
Flooding darkness with their light,
Bloom and sorrow drifts away,
On this holy hallow’d day.
Easter Lilies bending low
in the golden afterglow,
Bear a message from the sod
To the heavenly towers of God.
(Louise Lewin Matthews)
Wish all of you a happy Easter!
Blessings of Peace and deep Joy!

I was stumped for an Easter photo this year until I spotted the girls playing in the candy dish. They were good, they didn't eat much candy (the Olympics are coming up). I, on the other hand, must have eaten 6 of these while taking the photo :-) Those Cadbury mini eggs are addicting :-)
Happy Easter to all my Flickr friends! :-)
