What is your favorite season of year? Why?

New and full moon, liberation, peace and joy guarantees

Easter Monday is a statutory holiday when the beaches are packed with people in love with life and beauty.  Life hardly gets better than all day fun at the beach. Easter Sunday is the reminder that people have access to liberation,  Easter Sunday also brings a sobering reminder that all people need to be freed from fear and meaningless lives   The full moon aspect of Passover comforts me with the facts of the ebb and flow of life.  In this sense Passover comes every month as the moon waxes to full and wanes to new.  I like the exceptionalism of Good Friday with its unique action undertaken by someone other than me as the foundation of my sense of value and destiny.  It stands apart from the usual confessions about a great hero and/or God, because I get to simply rely on and celebrate a truly incredible act of love.

Passover is originally a day to commemorate exit from the clutches of bondage.  It is a Jewish festival and it has, through practice in both Judaism and Christianity, gotten rolled into a multiple day remembrance.   When a Jew talks about Passover he means the 8 day period that runs from Passover Day to the last (or the seventh) day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.  Easter for me and many Christians includes Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday.
