Easter Feeling and Faith in the Resurrection Story
Easter feeling begins with faith in the resurrection or reverence for those who share it. Gratitude for new life in nature and a selfless love renews the heart, while scorn or malice toward others has no place. Spring’s fire and church music testify that the old story remains sublime after 2,000 years.
Easter Lily Hymn of Saintly Triumph
A celebratory verse extols the Easter lily as a stainless symbol of resurrection. It proclaims Christ risen, defeating death, and casts the lily as a sermon on the mount that proclaims Christus lives again through ages.
