For most Christians, Easter 2020 is April 12. This year religious observance will be low-key as the coronavirus has effected even worship services. So let’s talk about its significance to the world of Christianity. Remember, Easter is the basis for faith-based Christianity-Jesus rising from the dead on the third day. In this time of uncertainty, I think we all need a framework of belief, of faith. Take this time to seek your framework for living and believing in a faith-based life. Stay well.
