Is 'Passion of the Christ' Appropriate During Easter Service [POLL]

Ryan O'Bryan — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:22:46 +0000

On Easter Sunday, my family and I attended services at a local church. For the purpose of this blog, the church will remain nameless as will the people we met there to avoid any unforeseen backlash. I will say this is a church we've been to a few times before, however it had been somewhere in the neighborhood of a year since we last attended services there. What transpired near the end of the roughly one-hour service was enough to keep me from going back.

Creative Ways to Decorate Your Easter Eggs [VIDEOS]

KISS-FM — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 06:12:42 +0000

The Easter practice of egg decorating has meaning behind it: the egg itself represents rebirth, something early Pagans celebrated during the spring season, and was later adopted by Christians to represent the resurrection themes of the Easter holiday. Back in the olden days, colored eggs were decorated in springy hues and given away to lovers and friends sort of the same way we do with Valentines. The egg tradition has held over as the holiday evolved, with most people using store-bought dyeing packages to color their hard boileds.

This year, stray from the usual and create unique Easter egg decorations with the help of these video tutorials.

While the Easter bunny is generally well-regarded for its fluffy belly, alert ears and too-cute buck teeth, some humans just aren't so fond of the creature. We're talking about young kiddos who -- when faced with the giant creature every Easter holiday -- erupt into a fountain of tears, traumatic screams and eyes bulging out of their sockets.

It's almost as if adults just want a little entertainment for the day. So, come Easter, they encourage a little PTSD by way of bunny rabbit.
