THE RESURRECTION
We hold so close to our hearts
The cross where Jesus died
But so much more than the blood-stained cross
Is that Jesus came back to lifeThe stone's been rolled away
The tomb lay open and bare
They looked for Him, and then the angel said
That He is no longer hereOh what joy they must have felt
To see Him just once more
To eat with Him, to drink with Him
To receive Him back as LordSo much did He accomplish
Through His death upon the cross
And in His rising from the dead
He reconciled us back to GodNothing else could bridge the gap
That sin had wrenched apart
Now we can freely go to God
And receive Christ in our hearts
Wishing all of you and your family's A Blessed Easter today and every day filled with love and joy.
Its 23 April.
Have a lovely day.
10 facts about… Saint George’s Day
St George’s story passed through the centuries growing in legend- but how did a man born in Cappadocia in AD 270 become the patron saint of England? Here are 10 fantastic facts about St. George’s Day
1. St. George’s Day takes place on 23rd April, which is traditionally accepted as being the date of his death in AD 303.
2. St. George was beheaded for resigning his military post and protesting against his pagan leader, the Emperor Diocletian (245-313 AD), who led Rome’s persecution of Christians
3. The Emperor’s wife was so inspired by St George’s bravery and loyalty to his religion, that she too became a Christian and was subsequently executed for her faith.
4.Before the cult of St. George was brought back from the Crusades, the top choice for England’s patron saint was Edmund the Martyr, one of the Whuffings, East Anglia’s ruling family. Edmund is also the p-saint of pandemics, torture victims, and wolves.5. St. George is the Patron Saint of Scouting and on the Sunday nearest to 23rd April scouts and guides throughout England parade thorough the streets.
6. His emblem, a red cross on a white background was adopted by Richard The Lion Heart and brought to England in the 12th century, when the king’s soldiers would wear it on their tunics to avoid confusion in battle.
7. Aside from England, other countries that celebrate St. George’s Day include Canada, Croatia, Portugal, Cyprus, Greece, Georgia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Republic of Macedonia.

8. Though celebrations are somewhat muted in modern times, Englishmen can still be seen to mark St. George’s Day with quintessentially British traditions, such as Morris Dancing (as in the video above), eating fish and chips or watching a Punch and Judy puppet show.
9. The most famous legend of St. George is of him slaying a dragon, with the dragon commonly used to represent the Devil in the Middle Ages. The slaying of the dragon by St George was first credited to him in the twelfth century, long after his death and it is therefore likely that the many stories connected with St George’s name are fictitious.
10. 23rd April 1616 was also the date of the death of the English playwright William Shakespeare. UNESCO marked this historic date by declaring it the International Day of the Book.Happy St. George's Day
