HAPPY EASTER!!!

Hi,

Thank you for visiting my blog and I wish you all a Happy Easter!! Enjoy :)

The ash on their foreheads reminding them of the dust they came from

The Hallelujah suddenly becoming scarce and sullen moods rising

Many making vows they hope to keep and full of ideas for abstinence

The congregation continuously increasing leaving no space unoccupied

The palms mark a beginning of a different royalty

Now they can sing louder yet aware of what is yet to be felt

The Holy week drawing in filling them with pensiveness

The homily ever preached so slowly and intense this time

Maundy Thursday, the feet of the chosen are washed

Then comes Good Friday, the passion according to His Beloved

They kiss the cross, the priest falls on his belly face down to the ground

These gestures of humility they learned from Him that they show

The nails piercing His hands, thorns of crown to draw his blood

His last words on the cross, tearing down the temple curtains

The sheer thoughts of his agony is relived even more

As blood and water gush from his sides, the one who witnessed testified

“It is finished”, the last we heard that He breathed

A sign over His head unknowingly indicating his status

A fresh place to keep the dead they laid him

But of course He did not stay because He belonged elsewhere

They did not understand the beginning but for those who believe

Death has been conquered and so the battle is finished

They spread the word gladly “Christ is risen!” throughout the world

To bring joy and hope to more, proclaiming “Hallelujah!”
