Easter

yes dawgs

eggs are thought of to mainly hold chicks, so easter eggs and chicks fit the season, and the bright of the chicks also match those of spring and easter.

none

NO where.

Easter was last on April 11th in 2004 and will fall again on the 11th in 2066.

I think yes because when did a bunny come into the picture of god coming back to life?? Another thought: One needs to consider the meaning of the word "idol". Generally, an idol is something to which people bow down and pay homage, or something which becomes the most important thing in someone's life. It is doubtful that the Easter bunny is in either position. And because of the rabbit's fertility, this creature does symbolise new life. At the same time, however, it's also true that the thought of Easter bunnies and Easter eggs has, for some, definitely taken the place of what Christians believe as the "true meaning of Easter", that is, Christ's death and resurrection. Materialism and commercialism, on the whole, tend to take more of the form of an idol, because the all-consuming need for more "stuff" (at Easter as much as at any other time of year) tends to overshadow the Christian celebration.

Ahu Tongariki is the largest ahu (stone heap) on Easter Island. Its moai were toppled during the island's civil wars and in the twentieth century the ahu was swept inland by a tsunami. It has since been restored.

I think it is the same one for children and adults alike.

As far as I can tell, Enterprise Car Rental is closed on Sundays. No one seems to answer even there national 800 number on Sundays. How can they possibly do business?

They both show pessimism about the future.

In 1929, Easter Sunday fell on March 31. Easter Monday then fell on April 1 and Good Friday fell on March 29.

Backbiting & Slander - an Islamic perspectiveAnd why did you not, when you heard it, say? "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to God, this is a most serious slander" (Quran 24:16)A commentary on one of the most destructive of major sins

Islam is a religion of peace, love and compassion. Lies, suspicion, back biting, slander and gossip are totally alien to Islam. In fact they are considered amongst the most destructive of major sins. This is so because these sins sow enmity and discord among the Muslim Ummah and lead to its destruction. They cause hostilities between people of the same household, and between neighbors, friends and relatives.

Islam demands that our relationship with mankind should be one of sincerity and responsibility. It should be one where we have respect for the honor, reputation and privacy of others. Islam teaches us that we are not only held accountable for our own attitudes and actions but also for anything else over which we have control or influence over, in our society or the world around us.

Verses: Let's see what the Quran states about backbiting and slander - This is the Book, in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God. (2:2)

God has forbidden the believers from backbiting

O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deeds some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful. (49: 12)

When we reflect deeply over this assimilation it should be enough to keep us away from backbiting!

Do not treat the issue of Backbiting & Slander with indifference because it is a great sin

Behold, you received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things which you had no knowledge; and you thought it to be a light matter, while it was most serious in the sight of God (24: 15)

Many of us back bite and gossip without thinking. We think it is minor matter, however God reminds us to be careful and even though we think we are doing something little it is in fact very big in the sight of God!

God teaches us to speak out against Slander and try to put a stop to it

And why did you not, when you heard it, say? "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to God, this is a most serious slander" (24:16)

Many people are so busy spreading the slander they hear that they do not even stop to think if it is true or not.

Shaitan (Satan) wants us to use our tongue to create conflict and hatred

Say to My servants that they should only say those things that are best, for Satan does sow dissensions among them, for Satan is to man an avowed enemy. (17:53)

Are we falling into Shaitan's (Satan's) trap? We can all analyze ourselves.

Hadiths: Let's see what Prophet Muhammad said about Backbiting in the hadiths. God states in the Quran - You have indeed in the Messenger of God an excellent pattern of conduct. (33:21)

The definition of Backbiting & Slander

Prophet Muhammad said :"Do you know what backbiting is?" They said, "God and His Messenger know best." He then said, "It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike." Someone asked him, "But what if what I say is true?" The Messenger of God said, "If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered him." (Muslim)

We should guard our tongue from sins and use our limbs in acts of obedience

Prophet Muhammad said : "Who protects his tongue from unlawful utterances and his private parts from illegal sexual intercourse, I shall guarantee him entrance into Paradise." (Bukhari and Muslim)

The definition of the best Muslim

"I asked the Messenger of God : Who is the best Muslim? The Messenger of God replied, "He is the one from whom Muslims are safe from the evil of his tongue and hands." (Muslim)

Deriding people in their presence by making negative facial expressions or by hand gestures while they are unaware is also a form of backbiting.

We need to beware of the slipping of our tongues

"When man wakes up in the morning each day, all parts of the body warn the tongue saying, �Fear God as regards us for we are at your mercy; if you are upright, we will be upright and if you are crooked, we become crooked.�" (At-Tirmidhee)

Summary

Backbiting and slander is so widespread that it has become the topic of people�s meetings and an avenue for expressing their anger, misgivings and jealousy. Those who indulge in backbiting are oblivious of the fact that they are only harming themselves. This is because of the fact that on the Day of Resurrection both the wrongdoer and the wronged will stand before God, Who is the Just Judge, God will then give this wronged person from the good deeds of the person who wronged him in accordance with his wrong by backbiting.

Some situations allow us to inform others of what someone has done. It is allowed for us to inform the authorities when someone does injustice to us or others. It is allowed for us to inform someone who can help a perpetrator from committing further vice. It is also permissible for us to tell whoever seeks our advice on a person for business dealings or marriage. In this case it is not allowed for us to hide what we know about the person so that the enquirer will not be deceived. All these types of speaking about others are lawful.

Islam teaches us that if people are being ridiculed or backbited in our presence, we should defend their honor. If we neglect this, we shall deprive ourselves of ever needed help and mercy from God - If a man's Muslim brother is slandered in his presence, and he is capable of defending him and does so, God will defend him in this world and in the next. But if he fails to defend him, God will destroy him in this world and the next. (Baghawi). What will we do the next time we are tempted to backbite or hear slander in our presence? Right now the choice is ours!

We ask God the Most High, the All Powerful, to teach us that which will benefit us, and to benefit us by that which we learn. May God grant blessings and peace to our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

= Peace and Blessings of God be upon him.

Easter baskets are toilets for the Easter bunny. That's why you get jellybeans in your basket.

Right now

the clock Glockenheim in Germany consists of many delicate figures including the devil, which is a single celled organism. This intriguing life form has aroused the spectators of The White House to look and see the Oval office and the Easter Bunny with some chocolate eggs with cream.

The last Sunday in November 1987 was the 29th.

NO

Ascension Thursday is 40 days after Easter because Jesus left 40 days after He resurrected, and Pentecost Sunday is 10 days after Ascension Thursday because the Holy Spirit filled Jesus' disciples 10 days after He left. (So the gift of the Holy Spirit was 50 days after the Resurrection.)

It is not the death, but the resurrection of Jesus that is remembered at Easter by Christians.

not the way we celebrate it now

The events surrounding Easter are the centralpart of the Christian faith. Jesus was executed on a Friday, but on the following Sunday, Christians believe, and a belief based on firm evidence, that Jesus Christ rose again. Because of this unique resurrection, Christ's divinity is proved and his life, teachings and claims validated. Easter Day is the commemoration and celebration of Christ's resurrection and so it is immensel important; some would also say that without the resurrection the Christian faith would not exist.

have an Easter egg hunt

paint some eggs

design a banner that says HAPPY EASTER

throw some confetti around

draw pictures and hang them up everywhere

make cookies in the shape of a bunny and an egg

have a party and invite your friends and family

put bunny ears on and hop around

design some sacks so they look like eggs and then have a sack race pretending to be a baby chick in the egg

The sun danced for joy on Easter morning.

Chinese Restaurants, Grocery stores and little boutiques in the International District, since Easter is a christian holiday, targeting neighborhoods that are distinctly not christian is a good bet, movie theaters are also typically open. If you are looking for something specific, visit the store's individual website after a good google search. Government run agencies: banks, post offices, libraries are all closed.
