I just want to wish all of my friends, sisters and brothers here on Susan's a happy  easter!

Do take it slow on the Easter eggs though.

Well here in Australia it's already Easter, everything is closed. Even the casino here in Brisbane shuts it's bars till Friday midnight..
I have wondered about eggs and the rabbit, doesn't make sense ! I know the egg represents new life but unless the catholic church wants us to procreate like rabbits....? I don't see the relationship...LOL
Have a great easter to all xo

Well, as I understand it, the medieval church took an "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" approach to many existing pagan traditions. However, the extinguish part never fully caught on with the laity. As a result, many of our holidays retain idiosyncrasies from earlier pagan traditions that have nothing to do with the holiday's stated christian purpose. See also: Christmas, Halloween

Anyway, Happy Easter.

I'll be at the sunrise service 6am.

Hugs to everyone for Easter.

If you miss family and friends remember we are here.

For those of a religious nature I wish you a Holy Easter and may your Gods bless you.

I'll be celebrating Easter at my UU church after service.  "Celebrating" with biological extended family is essentially impossible, so that's out.
