Easter Dinner
Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, is Christianity’s most important holiday. It has been called a moveable feast because it doesn’t fall on a set date every year, as most holidays do. Instead, Christian churches in the West celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. Therefore, Easter is observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25 every year.
My Easter morning begin with Hot Cross Buns and Hot coffee. I wake at 4 am. Sunrise services at church begin soon. I love making this service. Seeing the sun rise gives me the reassurance that Jesus Christ indeed was raised from death . How fitting to see “The Son ” rise on Easter morning. After this service, I chat with fellow Christians , glad to have this day to give pause and reflection to our faith. We will be back in a couple of hours for worship service and afterwards, many of us have guests arriving for dinner to celebrate the day. Our Christian friends who don’t have family nearby are invited to our homes. Our church family is close and we make sure all can celebrate with friends on this special day. My traditional Easter Dinner begins with a Honey Basted Ham. Most of my dinner menu can be prepared the day before, so my Easter Day can be enjoyed with family and friends. When family arrives, they always have a side dish. Our table soon becomes a feast fit for a king. The children have their annual Easter Egg Hunt in the back yard and hurry in with their baskets full of eggs to count, to see who wins the big prize chocolate bunny. No one goes home empty handed. They are miniature bunnies for anyone who looked for eggs. Enjoying family and friends at Easter makes such a special day. We gather around the table, hold hands and give God the Glory for his Beloved Son who is our Lord and Savior. Wishing you all a very Blest and Christlike Easter.
