WHAT IS EASTER?



What is Easter? I asked a child
and this is his reply:
"A painter is someone who paints,
a writer is someone who writes,
a singer is someone who sings,
so Easter is someone from the East."
Taken by surprise, I asked him
who that someone might be.
And he pointed to the golden disk
in the clear blue sky and said:
"Easter is the sun coming from the East
bringing warmth and light to give us life,
but Easter is also the Wise Men from the East
illuminating our heart with understanding.
