last year on these Dates written about his fascination with the figure of Jesus. This year I thought I should write a lot about. Say was not the sense of obligation but by the desire to say something. And I thought
Easter. Jewish and Christian celebration. In fact, the Holy Week are set in the Jewish calendar. As the passion of Jesus took place during the Jewish Passover (Pesach). What is the origin of this Jewish holiday? It originated in the Bible, history tells us that the Lord killed the firstborn of the Egyptians. The last plague sent by God to punish the pharaoh of Egypt. Since this did not relieve the people of Israel. God Moses gave specific instructions to deliver their first-born of punishment that would befall the land. Sacrifice a lamb. Spread the blood of the lamb doorposts. The lamb roast and eat unleavened bread. The Bible says that God's wrath passed over the houses that were marked with this Instit. Sacrificing the firstborn of the Egyptians. The rest of the story is known ...
A nice aspect of Passover today is the easter egg. It has also Jewish: Passover Seder. The egg symbolizes the hard heart of Pharaoh who did not free the people from the yoke of the esclativud. The Christians took the concept of the Easter egg as the idea of \u200b\u200ba new life, resurrection. The egg is a universal symbol of life.
The image of children running around the gardens looking for eggs that have previously hidden adults strikes me as a very touching image. In every part of the Christian world these days have different rites of Easter: Easter cakes (delicious chocolate-coated biscuit decorated with feathers, boiled eggs or chocolate figures, chocolate eggs, etc.. Etc. Etc.
But I am now. I think of Easter as an absolute symbol of resurrection.
Starting a new life. In the new life that we can always start despite all the problems that may exist.
Today, as every day we are born to new life. Let's do it. Each day is a new opportunity for a new life.
Happy Easter! Besos
