Do you still have your Mother’s voice in your head?

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Isn’t scary the first time you hear your mother’s voice coming out of your mouth?

I have a plaque by my bathroom mirror that reminds me everyday. “Mirror, mirror on the wall, I am my mother after all” And that make me happy. My mother was the greatest Mom of all, just ask me.

We need to thank our mothers for all the good things they have created in us and our lives. I have always loved Mother’s day almost better than Christmas or Easter. I loved giving my mother what I thought my dad couldn’t. It made me feel special (and as a kid that I was loved even better, as if that could happen!)

REMEMBER YOUR MOTHER by just saying thanks for being my mom.

What is the origin of the Easter bunny?

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Like the origin of Easter, the origin of the Easter Bunny has roots that go back to pre-Christian, Anglo-Saxon history. The holiday was originally a pagan celebration that worshipped the goddess Eastre. She was the goddess of fertility and springtime and her earthly symbol was the rabbit.

Thus the pre-Christian Anglo-Saxons worshipped the rabbit believing it to be Eastre’s earthly incarnation.

When the Anglo-Saxons were converted to Christianity, the pagan holiday, which occurred around the same time as the Christian memorial of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, was combined with the Christian celebration and given the name Easter.

Originally, there were some very pagan practices that went along with the Easter celebration. Today, Easter is often commercialized, with all the focus on eggs, the Easter bunny, etc.

Because of this, many churches are starting to refer to it as Resurrection Day.

Did you know? St. Patrick’s favorite color…..

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

was blue, not green, and the people of Ireland too weren’t exactly fond of green-according to them it was the color of the Fairies and Leprechauns and, unless you wanted to forcibly join the ranks of these Wee Folks, you would refrain from sporting the color too often. it wasn’t until the 19th century that Green became the official color of Ireland.
