#Resurrection Sunday

[mymotherjerusalem]

"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth."

Isaiah 53:6-7

happy easter!!! 🌅✝️

[enjoliquej]

There in the ground, His body lay  Light of the world, by darkness slain  Then bursting forth in glorious day  Up from the grave, He rose again  And as He stands in victory  Sin's curse has lost its grip on me  For I am His and He is mine  Bought with the precious blood of Christ

[kitty-i-swear-to-gosh]

Luke 24:13-37

Happy Easter everybody! Jesus is Alive!

And they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”— who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder. Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”

Luke 23:18‭-‬21 NKJV

Symbolically, we all are Barabbas. A prisoner of rebellion, guilty of murder and a number of other things. Yet, we were let go, set free, and Christ the most innocent man that ever walked the Earth, took our place.

Death was certain for Barabbas. 3 crosses were prepared, one of them for us, the rebellious murder.

As we reflect this Good Friday,

Consider standing before the crowd next to Christ that day; What look would He have given you? What look would have given Him? Seek Christ and His Mercy and Grace. He loves you so much.

Fabergé Eggs

Fabergé Eggs, perhaps considered one of the most famous examples of exquisite and luxurious craftsmanship to this day.

Fabergé eggs were originally commissioned by the Russian Imperial family in the late 1800s AD.

Tsar Alexander III (10 March 1845 – 1 November 1894) wanted a richly jeweled egg as an Easter gift for his wife, so Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé (30 May [O.S. 18 May] 1846 – 24 September 1920) got to work and produced very first Fabergé egg in 1885 AD.

And like Easter eggs you may find hidden in your shrubs or gutters, these eggs were also intended to contain a surprise inside.

Initially, the first Fabergé egg was to contain a diamond ring, but after specific instructions given by the Emperor, the egg could be opened to find a ruby pendant instead.

Over the course of the next two decades, ten eggs were produced for the family during Alexander III’s reign, starting a dazzling tradition that his son Nicholas II (18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918) would carry on for his wife and his mother every Easter.

The popularity of eggs-travagant gifts spread well beyond the Imperial family, and soon, other wealthy families began commissioning their own eggs.

The eggs then began to represent great wealth and luxury that owning a Fabergé egg was considered a status symbol.

And with the skill level and time that it took to craft up just one Fabergé egg – up to one year per egg – it’s no surprise they come with such a high value.

The intricate Fabergé egg-making process began by creating a design for the egg and then the outer shell would start to come to life.

The team of goldsmiths would craft the eggs out of precious metals like gold or silver.

They were each decorated with intricate engravings, filigree work and other decorative elements.

And while his competitors used a standard palette, Fabergé wanted to experiment with more colors.

He created resplendent yellows, mauves, and all shades of greens — coming up with over one hundred and forty new colors.

Just as important as its exterior, the Fabergé egg’s interior was given just as much attention to detail.

A team of jewelers would work on creating a surprise to be hidden inside the bejeweled shell.

These surprises could be anything from miniature portraits of the recipients’ husbands to tiny replicas of famous landmarks.

The artists behind these miniature works of art were some of the best miniature painters, sculptors and engravers of that time who used a variety of material, including enamel, precious stones and even hair to create their work.

Finally, once all of the intricate pieces were complete, they were assembled by a team of skilled craftsmen to create the final product.

The egg was then presented to the recipient and would become a treasured family heirloom for years to come. 

Unfortunately, the House of Fabergé was forced to close its doors during the Russian Revolution in 1917.

Fabergé and his family fled Russia.

Many of the Fabergé eggs were sold, lost or smuggled out of Russia during this time, but now, many of them are housed in museums like the famous Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.

However, history came full circle when in 2007, with new ownership and direction, the company announced the reunification of the brand with the Fabergé family.

This new chapter set the stage for a total revitalization of the Fabergé name and philosophy, which are in tune with its original values and spirit.

I might be late to the party on this one, but I just realised this painting that Jadis did of Beth, was from when Daryl and her were alone together after the prison. When she was picking strawberries 🍓 (claimed) and she was talking about Faith. ✝️🐰

He was the only one that had this memory of her exactly like this. So he must have been the one to describe her to Jadis. ❤️

Now the same picture is being used for her French ComicCon appearance with royal return purple 💜

On Resurrection Sunday!

Happy Easter/Resurrection Sunday! ✝

[melisssg99]

I'm curious how Easter has become all about (Easter)bunny's, chocolate, eggs and candy.

How did a Christian celebration turn into bunny decorations.

I understand that people celebrate with chocolate, eggs and candy because of the ending of fasting during Lent.

But I do not know anyone in my life, (where I live) that actually still fasts during Lent.

I personally think it's a bit sad how we have forgotten these traditions where I live.
