Remembrance of Easter
Although Easter has come and gone we
still need to refresh our minds on it.
The Resurrection of Christ is something
to be remembered every day of our lives,
Easter is a moveable festival, that
±3 not held on the same date every year,
Ti’.f; ^hurch Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D,
j::--‘i'i8d that Easter should be celebrated
OP. the first Sunday the first full moon
0.'. a::;ter March 21, Easter can come as
3"'-ily as i'iarch 22 or as late as April 25.
Px"ople did not expect Christ to resurrect
on the third day byt to our great advan
tage He hid. Just think what life would
be like today if Christ did not arise
from the dead. We would have a dead sp
rit instead of a living Christ. We would
not have Eternal life with our Christ nnd
Savior Jesus, VJliat a dreadful thought^
Let us all remember to make every
day a remembrance to Christ, His death
and His Resurrection.
