The call of Easter

Resurrection Sunday is more apt a descriptive phrase for Easter Sunday, and it’s not merely semantics.

In this day and age, with humanity’s penchant for symbolism, Easter Sunday has come to mean colorful boiled eggs and, for many Christian Filipinos, stuffed toys called bunnies—in the absence of real rabbits. Easter has metamorphosed into variations of parlor games for children as encouraged by adults. To put it more accurately, it has been systematically institutionalized by most parents both Christians and non-Christians.
