In today's society the holiday of Easter has lost much of its real significance. The religious value of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, has been put in the background. As with many other holidays (holy-days) it has become commercialized, with the Easter bunny, painted eggs, and chocolates becoming the primary focus. Although some of these, such as the eggs, do contain some religious symbolism, it is important to realize that there are far deeper mysteries behind Easter. The Holy Week is a good time to reflect on these mysteries, which have been taught in initiatic schools for many centuries.
Happy Easter to all!
