Easter will come as a tremendous relief from the gloom of Lent, the stress of Tax Day, and the horrors of Holy Week. It is a glorious celebration of the resurrection of a god from the dead and the hope of eternal life.
However.....
If an extraterrestrial were to observe our Easter customs, what would it think? Religious rituals held at sunrise (the sun being the ultimate energy source for life on earth), the decoration of graves with fertility symbols (flowers), the Easter Bunny (need I go into details?), and to top it off, colored eggs deposited by the Bunny. I somehow think that ET would regard it as a fertility festival.
What say you?
