Easter
Easter Day
Easter is the Sunday that follows the 14th day of the
calendar moon, which falls upon or next after the 21st of
March.
This Sunday, when Christian churches
celebrate the resurrection of Christ, is one of solemn
rejoicing. Coming after the self-denials of Lent and at the
beginning of spring, it seems naturally a time of hope and new
life. It is the feast of flowers, particularly of lilies, and
the name had its origin in a festival in honor of the goddess
of spring. The esteem in which it is held is indicated by its
ancient title, "The great day."

Outdoor and Indoor decorations for holidays other than
those at Christmas time have been growing more prevalent the
past few years. And Easter is no exception. We are now seeing
large easter eggs, Easter bunnies and Easter-trimmed shrubs and
bushes in our yards.
While coloring and decorating is a family tradition, the
holiday came from a religious background. Dressing up and
attending Easter morning church services has become a ritual of
spring.

- The Generals Easter Box
The General did not look at all as one would expect a general to look. He was short and thick-set and had a red face and a white mustache, and he usually dressed in a gray tweed suit, with a funny Norfolk jacket with a belt, and wore a soft cap pulled down almost to his eye-glasses.
