It's a wonderful card, but I wish people would quit calling this celebration of the Christ resurection, easter. I'm sorry but bunnies and colored eggs have nothing to do with Christ's death and resurection. Easter is a pagan holiday. Papa Mike III
Easter, central religious feast in the Christian liturgical year Paskha (meal), an Easter dish served in several Slavic countries Paska (bread), an Easter bread served in Ukraine Passover, a Latinized spelling of the Hebrew word Pesah Passover (Christian holiday), a holiday celebrated by a small number of Christians the German spelling of Pasha Pascha (brothel), a large brothel in Cologne, Germany Edmund Pascha (1714–1772), preacher, organist, and composer
I grew up in The Episcopal church, back when it was still sane, and it was always referred to as Easter. Mr. Peters from England was our beloved pastor. 2 of his 4 children were killed and one was horribly mangled. So sad.

I visited an Orthodox Church for a while and that's what they call Easter. Its the most important feast/holiday of the year.
