Easter Season Celebrations ~ Celebraciones de Pascua

 

Easter Season

By Maritza Martinez Mejia

The cross

The empty tomb

Real symbols

What is this about?

 

A sacrifice

A miracle

A reminder…

All the immense love

 

A God

A Man

A Spirit

What a mystery!

 HAPPY EASTER!

In our church there is a tradition of blessing Easter baskets.  This has been shared by our Polish parishioners, it comes from the early medieval times called "Święconka."

The Baskets can contain a sampling of Easter foods to be blessed on Holy Saturday for gatherings on Easter Sunday. In some countries, the food in the Polish Easter Basket is similar to the Jewish Passover Menu, but you can add additional items to the basket such as a good Easter Book.

 SUNRISE MASS a meaningful experience at our church St Elizabeth Ann Seton in Florida. 

John 20: 1-18 He is Risen! 

OCTAVE OF EASTER

Easter is not a day but a season of 50 days.   The octave (eight days) of high celebration beginning on Easter Sunday is followed by 42 more days of rejoicing concluding on Pentecost. 

Easter joy is one of the keys not only to our own happiness, but to the new evangelization.  I love the Easter greeting used in the Eastern Churches.

Let's celebrate the Resurrection!

“Christ is Risen.” … 

“He is Risen Indeed!”

Happy Easter!🌷

¡Felices Pascuas!

En nuestra iglesia existe una tradición de bendecir las canasta de Pascua.  Esta ha sido compartida por nuestros feligreses polacos, proviene del altomedieval llamada "Święconka". 

También celebramos la Pascua con la Misa del alba a las 6:00 am recordando el pasaje del evangelio Juan 20:1-18

Welcome April - Bienvenido Abril

 

 Reflections by Maritza Mejia

April is here. It's time to leave behind the spiritual winter and celebrate the season of internal joy.  As Chrisitnas we welcome Easter, a time of renewal. Other traditions welcome Spring as symbol of new life. Trees, plants, fields are beginning to turn green and bloom; new life is emerging from the ground. Just as winter symbolizes death, spring symbolizes new life. 

                                            Happy Easter!

March is gone,

New season comes,

I wish, blessings to all!

birds in my backyard

waiting for food to appear

blessings of nature...

(Haiku @Mejia 2024)

#NovedadesdemiJardin 🌴#LuzDelMes ✨

Abril está aquí. Es hora de dejar atrás el invierno espiritual y celebrar un tiempo de gozo interno. Como Cristianos/as le damos la bienvenida  a la Pascua Florida, un tiempo de renovación. Otras tradiciones dan la bienvenida a la primavera como símbolo de una nueva vida. Los árboles, las plantas, los campos están comenzando a volverse verdes y florecer; nueva vida está emergiendo de la tierra. Así como el invierno simboliza la muerte, la primavera simboliza una nueva vida.

¡Felices Pascuas!
