As one of the most significant Christian festivals, Easter is a time of reflection聽and renewal.聽What it celebrates is the moving and powerful story of Jesus鈥檚 sacrifice and聽resurrection.聽
As the poet Spenser wrote, 鈥淟ove is the lesson which the Lord us taught.
And the values that Jesus lived his life by - compassion, humility and聽forgiveness 鈥� resonate with people of all faiths and none.聽
It鈥檚 why so many people, both Christian and not, use the weeks before Easter聽鈥� the forty days of Lent 鈥� to take stock of what is truly important to them and聽their families. Whether that is through giving their time to volunteer or going without聽something in their own lives to help those most in need. It all makes a聽difference.聽
Easter is also a time that many people spend with their families, relaxing and聽enjoying the break in their different ways.聽
So, whatever you鈥檙e up to this weekend, I hope you have a very happy Easter.
