The city of Seattle purposely leaves out the word “Easter” from its annual community-center “spring egg hunts.”

The more I think about it, the more I don't understand this. The word "Easter" got associated with Jesus by the Church putting their holy day on top of the Easter celebration of spring/fertility. So they're trying to disassociate egg hunts from Jesus by not calling them "Easter", right? Do they think the word "Easter" somehow refers to Jesus? What do they think "Easter" means? Do they realize the egg hunts are a relic of a pagan ritual, or do they just know eggs have nothing to do with Jesus?

ita, are they not giving you the dosage you need? Os is it not working for you?

It just hasn't worked. And no one's willing to experiment.

Do you think this really matters though? Yes, the connection between Jesus and eggs or Jesus and the word Easter is and always was specious. But that doesn't mean that in the here and now the two aren't pretty inextricably linked.

I'm so sorry, ita.

Yeah, when the church hymnal refers to "Easter" hymns, I don't think you can make the distinction anymore.

For me, Easter means tomorrow is half-price chocolate bunny day.

More importantly, Easter is Clovis' birthday!

Oh god, ita, that's horrible.

ita,

God bless Hubby's pain clinic.
