Come Good Friday, and the wishes start pouring in. Half a dozen well meaning friends, call and text, some apologizing for not being able to wish early in the day. And all of them are taken aback, when I say it's not a day of celebration, and that it is in reality, a day of mourning. Then they all ask the same thing - Why is it called Good Friday then? I try to shorten the story as much as possible and thankfully almost all of them know Adam n Eve :) and end with Easter, the real day for celebration.
Just as Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ, Easter is the day to recall His death, and resurrection to save all mankind. Along with the seriousness of the whole matter, we have Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. Santa, with his bottomless bag of gifts and sleigh rides,and Easter with the Easter Bunny, with his basket full of beautifully colored eggs are imaginary people who add fun to the festive.
It's Easter today, and it's a joyous wishing time again, Happy blessed Easter...
