We had a wonderful Easter Weekend.
I love to Celebrate the Savior and all the gifts he has given to us.

That night Bill and I had our FHE and talked about the Resurrection and
what Easter means, including the symbolism of it all.
Eggs = Spring Time and the Rock that was rolled
away when the Savior emerged from the tomb
Bunny = Abundant new life, fertility, and renewal.
Chicks= New life, birth
Butterfly = The Butterfly is one of the significant symbols of Easter.
Its whole life cycle is meant to symbolize the life of Jesus Christ.
The first stage, is the caterpillar, which stands for His life on Earth.
Second phase begins from the cocoon stage, portraying the crucifixion and burial of Jesus.
The third and final stage is the butterfly, representing His raising from the dead in a glorified body and peace.
