Happy & Blessed Easter


A very Happy and Blessed Easter to all my Christian visitors, wherever you are.

I hope it's not too late. After all, it's Easter Monday. In fact, in certain parts of the World, it's only Easter Sunday.

As all Christians know, Easter is to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ., just as Christmas is to celebrate the birth of the Son of God Hence the world-famous mantra - The Lord Is Risen, Alleluia!

But alas, again just like Christmas, Easter has in recent years become more and more 'commercialised'. Just as during Christmas you have Santa Claus, for Easter you have the Easter Bunny and so on.

The business establishments, including hotels, restaurants, and entertainment spots waste no time in capitalising on these festive ocassions too. Christmas Eve dinner & dance? Easter Egg-hunting contest? I thought we should be in Church praying!

Celebrate by all means, but NOT the way the business establishments expect us to do. Why make them richer at the expense of our spirituality? Perhaps a family meal would be better.
