Easter Sunday Easter Sunday is the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth from his crucifiction on Good Friday. If you are not a christian or even if you consider yourself to be one, and do not place much belief as to whether or not this event actually took place, but is symbolic in nature, have nothing to be apologetic for. For those of you who do totally believe in this miracle, because your faith says to that you do believe, I will not ever challenge. The more important issue to me, go back two spaces, is Good Friday, as it is called. This day has much more significance to me. Jesus, no matter how you perceive his person to be, Son of God, or King of the Jews, or a not so normal politician, performed a function, that benefited all of mankind. Whether or not he absolved the sins of man is up to the believers. What he provided mankind, is measurable and unmeasurable at the same time. He was the pioneer of Human Rights. His teachings caused the revolution of thought. His actions stirred the thoughts of a yearning civilization to reach for higher goals. To bring attention of the elitist of the world, that they will be held accountable for their actions, somewhere, sometime. To give a hope to the struggling peoples of this world. For this, I give thanks and will always look inside my heart to find what is right. There will be those of you who read this, that think I am a total idiot. That I really have no knowledge of what I am speaking. I say to you that you are probably right, but I welcome your thoughts on this, and I feel that this is exactly what I am presenting to you, about the significance of this entire weekend. Happy Easter everyone, whatever your beliefs. David Nelson aka Gomer Lepoet
