A Modern and Secular Easter Debacle

Amy Sancetta/AP
          A colleague from my alma mater posted about this lovely story. Methinks people are no longer understanding even the true meaning of the Christ-less secular Easter celebration, much less true Easter's origins.        
          Of course, this article is more focused on the rise of the helicopter parent (you don't need Easter egg hunts to notice that), but the evolution of the culture's celebration of Easter is a bit more depressing to me. Keep in mind that I have Christian friends who use the term "Resurrection Sunday" in its place, objecting to the pagan etymology of the word "Easter."
          Let's just keep biblical truth in focus, brethren and sistren.
