In western Christianity, which follows the Gregorian calendar, Easter always falls on a Sunday between March 22nd and April 25th
This year was rather early so I am wishing happy Easter to family,friends, clients & fellow realtors everywhere as we enter the wonderful Spring season, a favorite in our family! And also paying tribute to the Irish patriots who fought & died in the Easter Rising in 1916 from the native son of a wonderful Irish rebel lady!
Despite its significance as a Christian holy day, many of the traditions and symbols that play a key role in Easter observances actually have roots in pagan celebrations—particularly the pagan goddess Eostre (or Ostara), the ancient Germanic goddess of spring—and in the Jewish holiday of Passover.
