The highlight of my Easter, by far, was watching the Mormon Messages video on youtube from a talk given last conference.
I love when Elder Holland talks about the Atonement. Justin got me a painting of Christ coming out of the tomb and the American Folk Hymn collection of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who loves American history and Mo Tab. They were very sensitive to the history of american spiritual music and even included african american spirituals in the collection. It made me want to read more history books this summer.
Anyway, it was a great relaxing Easter Sunday. I wish this holiday was a bigger deal in a non-comercial way because I think Christ's death and resurrection is more important than His birth.I also love that we celebrate Christ conquering death during the spring when life re-emerges from the dead, cold earth. It's such a warm, happy time to come out of hibernation. I feel so revitalized in the spring knowing that school is almost over and I can play in the sun all summer long. Birds chirp, plants turn green again and the sun seems so warm and friendly. It's like all the earth remembers and acknowledges that it's Savior lives and overcame the grave 2000+ years ago.
