Tag: Easter

You may still be cocooning against the possibility of more inclement winter weather, but the promise of spring is in the air and with it, possibly, the urge to entertain.

For many Two Rivers residents, spring can be a very spiritual season. In the Jewish faith, it means remembering the Passover feast before Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. For Muslims, Ramadan is a holy time devoted to prayer, fasting and almsgiving to the poor. In the Hindu faith, spring means Holi, a festival of colors that celebrates the triumph of good over evil. And then there is Easter, the holiest time of the year for Christians during which they recognize the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Everything was on the table, both faith and feast, as Jews, Christians and Muslims from all over the world celebrated Passover, Easter and Ramadan last weekend, a rare confluence that called for reflection and celebration and a beautiful reminder of the rich diversity of the world demonstrated in the Two River community.
