You see, I participate in a mailing list with some women from Poland, and there is much talk over there about all the various preparations for Easter, but nothing about God or Jesus. They talk much about cakes, cleaning, even decorating for the holiday, but it hurts my heart when there is no mentioning of THE REASON. I even asked one of them, what she believes in, and trhe response was:' What I was taught at the religion classes". And then they became discussing to what extent it is ok to have Easter Bunny and Easter Whatever as the proper part of the day, and concluded by giving a link to a catholic site that brought it up as quite appropriate... All the "life" symbolism of the pagan cults was embraced in this text. Finally, when one of them said she was off to watch "The Passion", another one said that she does not want to watch it because it makes her uneasy... I bet it does. Sorry for pouring out my grief here. Thank you, Mary, for this post. Love! Oh what a breath of fresh and holy air every time I come here!
