How do you keep Easter?
In the spirit of moving all the holidays forward, let's talk about Easter.

How do you keep Easter? Do you do the bunnies and eggs and chocolate and all that? Or is it a celebration of Christ's death and resurrection? Do you do anything special or out of the ordinary for that time?

Or is it just a basically secularized holiday for you, like Santa-mas?

I don't "keep" Holy Days. On Resurrection Sunday, I go to church like every other Sunday.

On Christmas, I get invited over to friends houses and I go. Beats staying at home alone.

Our church does make Resurrection Sunday "special" with songs and a message about the resurrection, maybe some children singing or skits. That day is, across America, probably the biggest day non-Church goers go to church. We should take advantage of it to reach them

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Ah, then you DO 'keep' Easter/Resurrection Sunday. You go to church and there is a 'special' type of service that is NOT done on any other sunday.

Cool.

I was just wondering how everybody does Easter.

No. I don't go to church that Sunday to "keep" a Holy Day. As I said, we have church services EVERY Sunday.

I don't "do Easter".

When I get home tonight, we are going to gather around the decorated Noble Fir in our living room, hold hands and sing "Oh Christmas Tree"!
