Today is Easter, the oldest and one of the most important holidays in the Christian tradition. The Easter holiday celebrates the story, as told in the Gospels, of how Jesus came to life again three days after having died on the cross. With the recent vernal equinox on March 20, spring began in Montana. Spring is a time when much around us comes to life from that which appears to be dead. We will celebrate life and what it might mean to become alive anew.
