Sunday Stills- Easter

Being Catholic, Easter is a time of great reverence and joy for me; it's not about bunnies and eggs and chocolate- although I do love my chocolate! The week before Easter we call Holy Week, culminating in Good Friday, and the remembrance of the Passion and death of Jesus. So my first photo is taken at our church, which is the Holy Cross Church.
And since Easter Day celebrates the Resurrection and the promise of new life, and hope, I can find it in God's great creation and the wonderful season of spring and all its beauty.
