The Meaning Of Easter

Easter is the most important celebration for Christians marking as it does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and over the Easter weekend there are always plenty of church services and public commemorations. With Christians around the World coming under attack from murderous Islamists it is also a time to reflect on the support we provide to Christians in places of great danger.

The nearest church to Muntham is St Matthias which is just a five minute walk away.

For non Christians, the pagan elements of the spring celebrations ( the bunnies and the eggs) also remind us of rebirth after winter and renewed hope for the year.
