In ancient mythologies – for example in Zoroastrian, Hindu and Egytian stories -resurrections of various sorts are common. Lots of people being killed and coming back to life. Perhaps this human need to imagine coming back to life was always inspired by the facts of Spring, of the awakening of what has been asleep. For me, the life of the Earth, and our life on the Earth, has long been more important to consider than any particular religious perspective on resurrection.
Therefore, I will say again as I have said before, that for me Earth Day is much more important than Easter. Join us to consider how we need to awaken in this season, in this time on the Earth.
We’ll include the traditional Unitarian Flower Ceremony on this Sunday, as introduced in Prague in the 1930’s by Rev. Norbert Capek. Please bring at least one flower – with enough stem to add to a vase of water – for each person in your group or family, to help create the ceremony.
