In My Perfect World

 In my perfect world Easter would be the week after April 12 - maybe the first Sunday after April 12.  That way I could celebrate His birthday and then His Resurrection.  And then Easter would always be the similar time but always on a Sunday for Easter.  But that is MY perfect world.  I don’t know why my Angels told me the date of Jesus’ birth, but they did. Easter coincides with the moon and Passover, but for me April 12 is the date of His Birth.

But Christmas is a tradition on December 25.  Maybe we can give Santa that date so Jesus doesn’t have to share it culturally speaking.  We still need a celebration in winter because those winter months need something.  Other than Ground Hog’s Day and Valentine’s Day there is nothing else until Easter except for St. Patrick’s Day.  In my thinking Christmas Day has always been partly pagan.  

But that is MY perfect world.  In my thinking it’s nice to have Christmas on December 25, but for the past 32 years I gave it to Santa.  The tradition wouldn’t be lost, but why tie Easter to Passover?  I’m just thinking.  The thing of it is we know about when Jesus rose from the dead, but His birth has been a mystery although many scholars give a spring date for the birth of Jesus.  

It’s not scholarly research that I know the birth date of Jesus but that I claim my Angels told me His birth date.  Who am I to change some fifteen hundred years of tradition?  Well, at least God knows I honor what my Angels told me and even if I am a celebrant of one; at least I honor God and Angels because I know.  April 12 is not a guess, although at least some have guessed that date.  

But this is my thinking about my own perfect world.  I guess with enough Easter’s in the course of two thousand years the date has been right for both.  But April 12 won’t be until 2098 that Easter falls on April 12.  At least I won’t have to worry about both being on the same day.  I’m not sure anyone will.  I’m just a voice in the wilderness doing my own thing.  

But at least I have my own Holy Week this year, but I’d rather have Easter after April 12.  At least then celebrations of His life events would be in chronological order.  But in the history of the world only Mark Twain came in with Haley’s comet and we know he went out with it.  But I don’t believe they were the same dates.  It’s possible that Easter and Christmas are the same dates.  But the odds for that being the case are astronomical, although that would look to be God’s doing and He can do anything He wishes to do. 

We just don’t know dates about anything back then and I know only what my Angels told me.  Or at least claim to know.  My voice is too small to affect changes in culture, especially the history of Christianity.  But I can write anything here I wish.  This is MY blog and no one tells me what to write here.  

I smoke my pipe while writing and think along the way.  I’m just thinking Easter should be the first Sunday after April 12.  But not even the Pope can do this.  No one can.  But in MY thinking I may do and think as I wish.  For me that’s the way it should be.  Christmas is April 12 and Easter is the first Sunday AFTER Christmas.  December 25 can then belong to Santa, elves, and reindeer.  

Oh well, at least I honor my Angels, if nothing else.  I’m just thinking as I smoke my pipe this morning.  My pipe on this Saturday morning is my Nording Number 3 pipe with Smooth English pipe tobacco by Cornell and Diehl.  My coffee is a special blend from Amazon.  Thank you for your time and Love and Peace to each one of you.  And have a Happy Easter!
