Happy Easter!

Yesterday was Easter Sunday. I attended the Mass in the Sta Ana Church near my place in the evening.

After Mass, I bought two bottles of red wine in the store and came home.

My other housemates were surprised to see me with red wine.

I invited them to celebrate the Christ's resurrection.

"Happy Easter".

Most of us still do not know the most important part of being a Christian. Let's just ask ourselves. (I am not expert on this.)

Of course, maybe we have inherited Christian faith from our parents. We maintain it as a family tradition.

Generally, most of the Christians love to celebrate Christmas, Jesus Christ's birthday in December. Some of them spend thousands of Kyates (pesos) for the celebration. Today, it becomes one of the most popular celebrations in the world.

It is sad to say that many Christians even forget about the day of Christ's resurrection. It says that Jesus was born and he lived like us and then died. The question is how he died? Just died and then end..? Let's ask ourselves.

It is the day we, all Christians, should be proud and happy for becoming His chosen people. It should be more popular and important than Christmas.

Some of us will be very uncomfortable or even awkward to say "Happy Easter" with each other like we do at Christmas. Of course, I realize people are very excited to greet with each other during Christmas. Probably it is because we don't have enough courage and strength to confess as Christians or still doubt about His resurrection. Let's ask ourselves.

According to the Bible historians, on the day after Jesus had risen from the tomb, the chief priests of the Temple bribed the Roman guards to tell the people that the body of Jesus Christ was stolen by His disciples while they were asleep. What a funny stupidity...!

Look at the real fact. Obviously, during those days, the Roman soldiers were the most discipline and the best fighters in the world. They followed orders with their lives It is not easy to steal the body. Imagine this kind of accident could happen.

Hello !!!!!

Of course, later, the true story of that Resurrection came out from the lips of those soldiers themselves. Christ had truly risen!

Let's have a party during this week. It is not late to witness by celebrating His Resurrection and greeting with each other.

Happy Easter...!
