Easter has always been a special holiday for us because of the spiritual ramifications that came from Christ's Atonement in the Garden of Gethsemane, His death on the cross, and His miraclous Resurection that provides life after death to all that ever lived.
It is a holiday that we try to prepare for similar to Christmas, by studying about the Savior and especially the last week of His life. From the Passover to Palm Sunday, to implementing the Sacrament in the Upper Room with His apostles, to His infinite Atonement, death on the cross, and triumphant Resurrection. So much to ponder on. So much to feel and understand.
Easter is especially significant to us this year, as we have experienced death, loss, and disappointment so close to our hearts these past few months. Todays devotional was a tender mercy that lifted our hearts and spirits on an particularly difficult day.
