Happy Easter to you! We know this is really a fun time & even we love the Easter Bunny and coloring eggs too - feasting on bunny chocolates and cream Easter eggs and all, but after our children finish up their goodies and smile thinking about how nice it was to have the Easter Bunny come visit, what do we say when they look at us - with the hint of chocolate still on their faces - and ask “why do we celebrate Easter?. Let us turn to our children and tell them…… Easter was meant to have us remember the resurrection of our Savior, for after three days, his lifeless body laid entombed, after hanging from the cross, in agony, for hours, before giving up his spirit and died. Then administering angels appeared as His spirit was joined to His mortal body, He rose, being no more mortal but Immortal, Eternal, Pure and Divine. This is why we should celebrate Easter, for it is a time of new life and an assurance, that we, one day, like our Savior, will be rejoined with the elements that once were our body and be now made new, perfect in form but no longer mortal but now immortal.
This Easter weekend, April 6, 7 & 8, turn to mormon.org/easter or facebook.com/mormon to find out more about how we, at the Leavitt Lodge, celebrate this special day.
Happy Easter,
Nancy & Barry Leavitt
