The Sign of the Cross isn’t used in other religions, but has been used in various pre-Christian cultures where they used cross shapes, often representing the sun or life. Spring seems to be a celebration of nature’s awakening, marking the end of winter with themes of life, growth, and hope, focusing on fertility and the resurgence of life. The cycle of life honors the meaning of Easter, to me, and just as the Resurrection is the true meaning, I think we can always do the same within out lives to enhance ourselves. Somewhere in a Bird of Prey nest, lies an egg that will hatch into another one. In Wisconsin, we have a diverse array of birds of prey, including bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and various hawks like red-tailed & Cooper’s hawk.
