Happy Resurrection Sunday!!

Today is our first Easter Sunday in Haiti. Friday night we attended a communion service where they read parts of the story of the Passion Week in between hymns about Christ's death and resurrection. With each reading a candle was blown out until we were left in total darkness. Supposedly in some villages here everyone spends Friday in silence.
Saturday at 2:00 some neighbor kids came over. They told the Easter story using the Resurrection Eggs. Then we dyed eggs and later hunted for candy and treats that Todd had hidden. Other moms brought extra snacks and treats. It was a fun little party.
This morning, I made some cinnamon rolls, and the kids delivered them to neighbors...the ones we did not eat, that is. :) At the church a cross was decorated with beautiful flowers of every color. As each person entered the church, they were given a flower to add. We sang some of my favorite hymns, "Hallelujah, What a Saviour," "Victory in Jesus"... It was a beautiful celebration of our life in Christ. On the way home from church, Todd bought me some flowers, so now they are sitting on our kitchen table and dining room table as a reminder of this special celebration of Christ's resurrection.
