These started in the 17th century and grew over the years into cards and gifts and chocolates and other sweet irrelevant expressions of a festival. ( Like Santa Claus for Christmas). (Check Google for more details!)<\/p>\n<p>Easter is and remains a joyful celebration of redemption and triumph over sin and death.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus was the first&#8230; and all of us will so follow&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-176\" src=\"https:\/\/ultrazaps.com\/terryblogg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cid00e501cbfa80dollarac790000dollar0201a8c0xaviers.gif\" alt=\"cid:00e501cbfa80$ac790000$0201a8c0@xaviers\" \/><\/p>\n<p>photo\/montage : terryq<\/p>\n<p>darkness dispelled<\/p>\n<p>a new sunrise<\/p>\n<p>palms wave again<\/p>\n<p>to glory skies<\/p>\n<p>hosanna promise<\/p>\n<p>foretold fulfilled<\/p>\n<p>He lives again<\/p>\n<p>His Father&#8217;s will!<\/p>\n<p>Alleluia !<\/p>\n<p><strong>easter blessings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>peace and joy!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Happiness and joy are secondary.
