What Is Easter? Surinam B162: Sunflower (issued March 25, 1970)

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 Wise Men from the East illuminating our heart with understanding." — Peter Y.
