The combination of a calm Sound of Sleat and gentle light caught my eye on a trip to the west coast of Scotland earlier today.
The distant island is the Isle of Eigg which seemed fitting for today, Happy Easter everyone.
Easter evening was cool but lovely, and the daylight ended in a blaze of spectacular glory..... As I was enjoying this gorgeous sight, I recalled standing in the same spot last year, observing an equally amazing finale....
Christ is risen!
I will be leaving to visit my family immediately after work Thursday, will be back by Monday.
Happy Easter everyone! :-)
(Please no award group invites ... Your comments mean more to me. Many thanks!)
This is the second full moon in March making it a so-called BLUE moon. It is also a Paschal Moon.
According to Space.com: "Spring began on March 20, and 11 days later, the moon turns full. So this is also the first full moon of spring, and as such, it's designated as the Paschal Moon. The first Sunday after the Paschal Moon is usually designated as Easter Sunday, as will indeed be the case on the very next day, April 1. "

The Easter Bunny is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter, depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs. Originating among German Lutherans, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide.[1]
*****************************************************
Rabbits have been popular with many Japanese people, and their motif has been used on various items such as table wares, kimono, obi and general merchandise.
Rabbits only drive on forward and don’t step back, so they have been considered lucky as a symbol of advancement.

There are all kinds of Easter nests that children in this country put up in the garden so that the Easter bunny can lay colourful eggs and sweets. My daughter decorated this one.
The tradition of the Easter nest (Osternest) has its roots in German folklore. It is closely tied to the concept of the Easter Bunny (Osterhase), which originated in Germany long back, according to AI during the 17th century. Children would prepare nests for the Easter Bunny to lay colorful eggs. AI further summarizes "This custom was influenced by pre-Christian pagan traditions celebrating spring and later merged with Christian Easter celebrations."
'easter' delivery.....wishing my flicker friends a peaceful time with their families on this meaningful holiday.....
My Easter bunnies have arrived & are hiding in the forget-me-nots & bluebells in my garden!
They are precious keepsakes as they were both Easter gifts from my dad many years ago (but freshly painted again ready for summer).
Sitting on an mint-green doily and decorating our house during these Easter and springtime days. The bunny is here, but who knew there was also an Easter Duck?!
Every year I paint only one Easter Egg. It takes a lot of time to paint the egg, but this year I managed to finish it on time :)

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

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
