2019Easter - First Day Cover

Easter and Christmas differ in one significant detail. Christmas is tangible. A child was born, it will grow up, live and die. The straw in the manger is coarse, the breath of the ox and donkey is warm, the sheep smell of wool and milk. The assumption of Christ, on the other hand, is not tangible. No one witnessed his journey into another dimension. It is a question of believing his words. This is why Easter, from the human perspective, is always in need of a metaphor. Searching for that metaphor, we turn to everything that is restored, everything that returns, everything that re-emerges from the earth into which it had disappeared.
