Easter is the Hope Holiday. All the religions I've encountered have powerful, human strengths: Buddhism focuses on embracing, not running from, what is going on right now. Judaism performs its most important rituals within the family, and instead of building inspiring architecture, offers study and truth-wrestling. And Christianity, the faith I was raised in, offers hope of reconciliation even at the utmost extremity. This, the vital humanist message of Easter.
