I wanted to talk a bit about the symbolic meaning of some of the symbols we connect with each year in the spring time on Easter summer.   I have such lovely memories myself of Easter as a child.   The new outfit, shoes, pocketbook and coat that my mom made for me on occasion.    Also flowers, newly grown, beauty of nature coming out for the first time. A time of growth, new ideas, and a time of joy, fun and traditional activities shared by family members.  Decorating eggs, the day before Easter, and the egg hunts on Easter Sunday.  We would race around the yard in our Sunday best, looking for those eggs, and counting how many eggs we found, at the end of the egg hunt.  The eggs represents the new birth of new ideas.   When I was growing up we used real eggs for the egg hunt.  By the time my nieces and nephews were participating in egg hunts, they were plastic eggs with some pennies or dimes/ nickels inside the egg.  Time had progressed, along with their idea of a successful Easter egg hunt. The colored eggs that were colored the day before, were sitting in the refrigerator, waiting patiently to be experienced by anyone who cared to try one of them.

And so I asked the angels, Particularly Archangel Ariel, about the different symbols of this spring Christian Holiday.  This is what she had to say to me about this.

As we know that the Easter, represented change of something new, in our world. The symbols associated with this holiday, show this. Think of the Baby animals around Easter Sunday. The baby lamb, the bunnies, Butterflies.  Each has a symbolic meaning, of something they can offer to us.  The bunny is about the productiveness around NEW Ideas, and how the ideas can be helpful to others and for our self too.  The bunny is all about generating and sharing this newness to all.  Also being in the place of positivity, who can’t be positive around cute little bunnies. The lamb represents Christ, son of God, so of course it would be a lamb.  The lamb in general represents Jesus’s flock that is spoken so often in the bible.  And then gustatory experience of eating lamb on Easter Sunday.  This also speaks of the sacrifice that our Lord Jesus, went through, when he was on the cross.  So it speaks to his sacrifice for / to us but also the many sacrifices we make as humans in so many different ways. Archangel Ariel speaks of the new ideas that may be on your mind at this time   He says to write them down, keep track of them.  And he says, when beauty comes from within, we can share it, our beauty shines outside of us too, in every way.       

In my next column, I am going to speak of a few more symbols, and message from the angels about this year’s Easter.   What we can do to help with harmony in our world.  Also I am reminded that these symbols in many ways are universals and non-denominational. We all have love and we all joy of new birth, of new beginnings, in our lives, at all times.
