The Easter bunny and the risen Christ have come on the heels
of Santa Claus and baby Jesus. Does this sound odd? Actually, it’s not. We live
in a world of contradictions and layered meanings. Life presents us with many
examples of the sacred and profane going hand in hand. And, of course, we have
to squeeze every economic opportunity out of every cultural celebration.
And this is fine as long as we don’t believe that Jesus left
a basket of chocolate eggs as he left the tomb or that the three wise men looked
up in the sky and saw Santa’s sleigh instead of the guiding star.
Happy Easter. Enjoy biting the ears off that chocolate
bunny.
