Every family has its special holiday rituals and Easter is no exception.
Growing up, my mother always made us a lambie cake for Easter. My brother has her mold and continues the tradition. It HAS to have jelly beans for its eyes and nose and I love seeing that my brother makes the lamb cake to honor and remember her.
Today I encountered another family tradition with another family.
The black sheep — instead of the pure white lamb — sang a beautiful pascal song to me. Easter is a time of celebrating all humanity, not just the pure and obedient among us. Jesus’s resurrection brings us a new beginning and a washing clean of our prejudices and bad habits.
Happy Easter, and may you have a blessed and inclusive day.
for our Christmas celebration. These crackers come complete with tuned whistles and music so that we can actually play a tune at our Christmas table.
