Easter~

Being buddist I have to say alot of these
are more believable than ressurection.

Thanks for the enlightenment...all!
I'll go with perdita and Tatelou...heres what I found.

In ancient Egypt and Persia, friends
exchanged decorated eggs at the spring equinox.
These eggs were a symbol of creation, fertility,
and new life because the birth of a creature
from an egg was so surprising to people of
ancient times. Dyed eggs were hung in
Egyptian temples. Christians of the Near
East adopted this tradition, and the
Easter egg became a religious symbol,
representing the tomb from which Jesus
broke forth. Eggs were often colored red
to represent the blood of Christ.

Rabbits were also a pre-Christian fertility symbol.
Often they were used as images of
Christ's post-resurrection appearances.
These appearances were likened to the
rabbits being seen and then disappearing
and then being seen again somewhere else.
The first mention of the Easter Bunny and his
eggs seems to have come from Germany
in the late 1500s. In many sections of Germany,
the belief was that the Easter bunny laid red
eggs on Holy Thursday and multi-colored eggs
the night before Easter Sunday.

The name for Easter comes from the
Hebrew Word 'pesah", or Passover and
was first associated with the Hebrew feast
of Passover. Easter was celebrated at
different times by the early Christian churches
until 325 A.D., when the Council of Nicaea
fixed the day as the first Sunday after the
first full moon after March 21.

Easter always falls between March 22 and
April 25. It is believed that the council probably
set the date of Easter to fall near the time
of a full moon so that pilgrims journeying to
worship a shrine might have moonlight to
help them find their way.

Today in the Christian countries Easter is
celebrated as the religious holiday
commemorating the resurrection of
Jesus Christ, the son of God.

Although celebrated as a religious holiday
many of the customs and legends are
actually pagan in origin and have nothing
to do with Christianity.


If I were to take a collective thought of all these
delightfull interpretations I would have to say...

Happy Easter

Thanks, Erotic.


Is it just me, or is the secret
To poetry, just a matter of
Breaking lines up in the right place?

But back to Rabbits.


Heard about the necrophiliac rabbits who were fucking in dead Earnest?

But back to Rabbits.

My rabbit, Petya, just joined Lit., but of course he can't type. He wants to share this with everyone. I've begun practicing "trancing" and it really works!

Perdita

p.s. I am not being a sicko, go to the end of the site and see what "trancing" is.

Trancing~

I could use a bit of trancing sometimes myself...
Similar to the Iguanas of central America.
I've seen this done on 5 ft long ones (Iguanas)
While in Panama I seen them sell the Iguanas
in the markets and all be asleep or intranced...lol

Wish some people could do this...lmao...

Muchos Gracias seniora perdita

Yes.

Or you don't even have to break the lines if you write prose poems. But that's a lot more complicated and you have to write poetically, which is indefinable.
