We wish a blessed Resurrection Sunday to one and all!
Христос Воскресе! Поистине, Он воскрес!
which is Russian for "Christ is Risen! Truly, He is risen!"
I had a close friend from my college days, Diane, my roommate of two years, who has since passed away under very tragic circumstances. I remember well how she cherished the rituals of Easter within her Russian Orthodox tradition. For many days after Easter, the Orthodox greet one another with the above greeting.
The Vietnamese would say: Kitô là tăng! Thật sự, ông là tăng!
Those in South Korea would say: 그리스도 상승이다! 진정으로, 그가 상승이다!
And in French: Christ est ressuscité! Vraiment, il est ressuscité!
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ brings joy in any language.
Here are some highlight photos of our family's Easter this weekend.
We began on Saturday by decorating hard-cooked eggs.
Easter service was very early this morning and we had to leave home by 7:15. But it was not so early that the baskets weren't already discovered and taken apart.
Five acres make for the best, and the most challenging, Easter Egg hunts. Little Son carries along a butterfly net.... just in case he sees one along the way.
Baby Girl scarcely needs my help anymore to find eggs.
Checking out the loot afterward. The Golden Egg had a dollar tucked within!
Baby Girl found two Golden Eggs in the yard, but she passed one on to her brother so he would have one, too.
We finished up by enjoying matzos, hot cross buns, coffee, and Resurrection Eggs and scripture reading, while seated as a family at the breezeway table. It was a very beautiful, breezy Resurrection Sunday morning!

Glad you had such a blessed Resurrection Sunday. Your photos are beautiful. I'll post some Easter pictures on my family blog soon. Happy Easter!
Happy Easter; it was a wonderful day. We celebrated Saturday, so the college kids could enjoy the family day and safely take their 6 hour drive back.
Happy birthday to your son. You have such wonderful children. They are the type of people who will want to drive 12 hours to spend a long weekend with the family for special holidays. It's a joy when your children adore each other so much.
