Easter day Special

Remember to contest Easter? Recall school holidays of Easter? They are long gone and so, too, will all other mention of Easter be removed if the PC laity have their way.

Kill Christmas and all that means holiday for Christians do not quite cut it with the anti-Christian, play War On Christmas. Now they are here to kill the Easter Bunny, or at least eliminate the "Easter" word in the American lexicon. Of course, "they" have not yet managed to eliminate the word "Christmas" in favor of "holiday" and "winter", which does not mean they are not doing their darnedest to make the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ about as important as Arbor Day.

The good news is that to date no effort has been made to abolish mention of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, Eid-ul-Fitr Islam, Buddhism Visakah Puja or Diwali Hinduism, although Roman Saturnalia took the edge.

Christians celebrate Easter Sunday as the central celebration of Christianity  day of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who in Western Christianity marks the end of Lent, a period of 40 days of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter. Eggs, bonnets, parades, and rabbits have at best a tangential relationship to the religious import of the party, but they are all the elements of the Easter tradition.

The wooded, comfortable rich almost 200 years old city of Munson, Geauga County, Ohio, population around 6,500, is not exactly the kind of place one would expect to blaze new paths sociological. However, this year Munson is preparing for "The Spring Egg Hunt."

In white, Republican-dominated and Christian, good Munson administrators have decided that traditional "Easter Egg Hunt" of the city was misnomered although it has always been held on the weekend of Easter. Some residents are disturbed Munson on well change choreographer Matt Martsolf said simply, "Stop the headache. Just let the kids have their day."

Of course, children with their "day" is not the issue, because they had the same day for years until someone decided "their day" was named inappropriately for any reason .

Was it because the "Easter" word was too difficult to pronounce? Because they were simply bored with the name? Because "Spring" was more suitable for an Easter weekend event? Or because an "Easter Egg Hunt" was somehow shocking the whole uproar in Munson, who is not really an outcry at all since most Munsonians like most other people tend to passively treat these small changes in the traditions and nomenclature a sense, describes the name Munson spat.

Taken alone, the distinction between a spring or a hunt for Easter eggs is relatively inconsequential and meaningless. Considered as part of a model in which certain elements of American society continues to erode the Christian foundations of our society, the Munson mishaps, Ohio takes on another meaning.

Jesus Coming soon

#1. Acts 1:11 "Men of Galilee," they said. "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."
#2. Acts 3:19-21 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you - even Jesus.
