The Lord is risen!

He is risen indeed! Alleluia!


The great season of Easter is finally upon us. Since I started attending churches which follow the liturgical seasons, I've begun to notice how the secular world anticipates these seasons - the frenzy of the "Christmas season" in the run-up to Christmas Day obscures the fact that the ecclesiastical season of Christmas only begins on December 25. Similarly with Easter, the easter eggs and daffodils everywhere have felt strangely incongruous up till now. Perhaps it is because penitence doesn't sell well?
