Hello Hiversss!…… How are we all doing today?
Happy Easter Friday??? I’m really not sure if I can say that or is it Happy good Friday?
I have witnessed several holidays including many easters before this. However, I really don’t pay close attention to what happens around that time.
To clear your doubts, I’m not a Christian. I’m an Eckist (member of Eckankar).
Eckankar is a separate religion on its own just like you have Buddhism, Islamic, Hinduism etc.
In Eckankar, we have our own unique doctrines as well as our books.
However, I grew up in the midst of several Christians. Every time they celebrate Christmas and Easter, we somehow get in the celebration mood with them as well. Our Christian neighbors cook special dishes, go to church early in the day and when they’re back, its celebration mood all the way.
I did Christian religious studies in my primary and secondary schools because it was a compulsory course which is understandable since almost everyone is a Christian in the eastern part of Nigeria.
I understand that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus but Easter is quite confusing though. In some of the Easter messages, people talk about death of Jesus. In some others, people talk about resurrection. I also know that Easter often falls on a weekend. Th Fridays and Sundays of that weekend are usually special but not the Saturday? I’m really not sure why.
We were given holiday at the office lasting from today, Friday till Monday. So, we are to resume back on Tuesday. I woke up this morning knowing that it's that Easter weekend again but I wasn’t sure if it was okay to say “ Happy Easter” yet. Maybe it's until Sunday?
Well, I’m just going to wait till I see "Happy Easter" greeting from others so I'll be sure it's safe to send my greetings too.
Being an Eckist, today is just like every other day though. However, I’m so grateful that I don’t have to go to the office until Tuesday. Thank God for Easter, I really needed a break.
My plans for today?... None!
I’m just going to stay in doors and Hive all the way! Because what other way to relax and also be productive?
So, what about you?
How’s Easter going at your end?....
Are you on holidays as well or you’re working?
In case today is not the main Easter day, then HAPPY EASTER IN ADVANCE.
If its today, then HAPPY EASTER.
Sending lots of love from this side…..💙🤍💙🤍💙
With Love💕
