Culmination of the passion Christ
Many Christians celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.
The Easter date depends on the ecclesiastical approximation of the March equinox.
Fun.. Bunnies.. Eggs.. flowers.. Worship.. Celebration..
Easter Egg Hunts
The Council decided to keep Easter on a Sunday, the same Sunday throughout the world.
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a thorough description of what Easter is all about and the news articles and quotes from the articles worked well because it appears that you put great thought in to what to put where. As a Christian I was immediately drawn to this poem because I celebrate Easter every year, and it is arguably the most important holiday in educating people as to why Christians believe what they believe. I like how you were able to find headlines and quotes that tell what Easter is all about. From celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, to Easter egg hunting, and why Easter is held on a Sunday you clearly picked headlines that depicted what Easter is all about. Great job!
Jesicca,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you displayed Easter. I feel like you really hit every aspect of it. I feel like people only think of Easter as chocolate,egg hunts, or bunnies. Yes, you mentioned the egg hunts and chocolate which is a part of the tradition but you also included the religion, which most people in today's society forget that aspect of the Holiday. I felt like you could have added a little more to the news reel about the holiday, but that also shows how little publicity the holiday gets compared to other holidays such as Christmas. Over all really good job Jessicca!
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI like how your poem brings together a lot of the tensions surrounding Easter. The two most clear are the date and the iconography. I was not aware until I was in college that most of the iconography for Easter---eggs, chocolate, bunnies---was either borrowed from pagan celebrations of Spring or simply a marketing strategy by candy companies. The way that you've constructed the poem reveals that these issues remain in an uneasy tension with each other.
