Spring: The Resurrection of Persephone    Rev. Ernie Mills

10:30AM

What do new life, recreation, resurrection, rebirth, Easter, Easter eggs and Persephone have in common? Spring! Our distant ancestors celebrated spring with festivals, ceremonies and sacred rites. Because we moderns do not experience the harsh winters we may not feel the profound impact of the season and the sheer joy and “intoxication” of Persephone’s return. Spring means food, and food means life. We will widen our horizons by exploring the meaning of Easter and set it within a universal framework.
