Hoppy Easter
Welcome to a Celebration
of Easter


Easter is the time of springtime festivals, a time to welcome back the Tulips, the Crocuses and the Daffodils. Its a time of new suits, new dresses and patent leather shoes. A time for Christians to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Christ. And a time of chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks, and colored eggs!


Now here for your entertainment are some fun Holiday things for you and your family. We've got Easter stories, animations to watch, and pictures to color! So bring your kids and tell your friends. And please stop by again.


Easter will be celebrated on Sunday March 23, 2008. This year Greek/Orthodox Easter will also be celebrated Sunday, April 27, 2007.
