Easter celebrates the rebirth of life and the greening of the world. Outward and inward both, Easter is a time of transformation and fecundity encircled in wonderful, global symbols of birth and change including eggs, flowers, rabbits, butterflies, chicks and growing things. Easter religious rites and passages are a supernatural extension of the natural flow of change and burgeoning beginnings found within Spring. Cultures and peoples around the world have always found joy and excitement seeing the returning migratory birds and animals, some revolving their lives around this homecoming. Easter offers a bridge between folk and monotheistic religions, giving every person a symbol, a reason, a moment of happiness and rebirth.
