Easter Sunday, otherwise known as Pascha & Resurrection Sunday.

We're not too sure where the word “Easter” originates. The best understanding we have at the moment is that it comes from the Old English ēastre, the name of a goddess associated with fertility and spring. Bede certainly thought so. Some say it links to the old German word for east, or from Latin, dawn or light. Whatever the origin, we celebrate resurrection, the triumph of love over hate, light over darkness and we celebrate grace. We recognise that death is not the end and however bad it might seem, there's always a new day dawning.

I wasn't sure what photo would be suitable for this day, and as it's day 28 at home for us, here's a photo of something made out of next-door's wardrobe. A new day dawns.

Happy Easter folks.
