About This Quote

Easter and the season of spring is a time that celebrates the beginning of new things when the weather warms and flowers bloom. The season also brings hope when we see the first signs of life appear in our bodies when we wake up, and when we see the first bits of grass sprouting from the earth. Easter is a symbol of renewal where we can look forward to a new beginning.
