Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone, who should happen upon this blog today!

Here is something for everyone to read!

 

Easter (Old English: Ēostre; Greek: Πάσχα, Paskha; Aramaic: פֶּסחא‎ Pasḥa; from Hebrew: פֶּסַח‎ Pesaḥ) is a Christian feast and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament. Easter is preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday, commemorating Maundy and the Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. Easter is followed by a fifty-day period called Eastertide or the Easter Season, ending with Pentecost Sunday. The festival is referred to in English by a variety of different names including Easter Day, Easter Sunday, Resurrection Day and Resurrection Sunday.

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March corresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages, the words for "Easter" and "Passover" are etymologically related or homonymous. Easter customs vary across the Christian world, but attending sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church and decorating Easter eggs, a symbol of the empty tomb, are common motifs. Additional customs include egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and Easter parades, and are observed by both Christians and non-Christians.

Do you take a chance and get to know someone...without judgement?

"Those who judge a book by it's cover will only know liars, those who give people a chance to get to know them... know that some people are nervous and not themselves at first! So judge thy book by it's contents and get to know them within, for the cover may look nice or bad at first but you only know what's in side by taking the time to look within!"

It's been almost a year since my last blog post!!

So I have been busy with life and having a blog had slipped my mind for a while and I did want to post a few times but could not think of anything to write about!
I'd like to add that I had reread my last entry and decided that it needed editing, as I found it a bit personal and not to the point I had been posting about to begin with. So I edited out the personal stuff and the negative stuff( aka the personal stuff haha). So That is the reason for this post, to let you all know I edited it and have taken out a few things from it and added a little bit of new stuff too!
I plan on blogging more a bit later this week or on the weekend.
I hope you have a look and I look forward to writing again later!
Have a great day!
