As Christians, we celebrate Easter as God’s triumph over death. The earth sings out, “Alleluia, Alleluia Christ is risen!” With its roots in Hebrew, alleluia means “Praise the Lord.” After a season of repentance and turning our hearts back to God, we hope in the risen Christ. The Easter Lily represents a trumpet’s proclamation of the Good News of the Resurrection. From death to life, Christ reigns.
