Easter Eve






Today is Easter Eve.  I don’t think I have ever heard the day between Good Friday and Easter called Easter Eve.  Did I just make that up?  Why shouldn’t Easter get an Eve along with Christmas and New Year’s Day?  This from a non-religious person who doesn’t really celebrate the real Christian meaning of Easter.  We all find our path one way or another.  Oh dear, I apologize if that sounded totally sacrilegious. 😬  I did find myself thinking of Jesus yesterday.  My son actually made a comment that nowadays a lot of people are about being spiritual as opposed to practicing a religion.  This is definitely me.  I do respect religions and their beliefs, just not when they claim exclusivity in having the only true and correct doctrines and beliefs. 

So after doing a google search, I have now learned, in the year of our Lord 2024, that there is a Holy Saturday. 

It is true, though, that people don’t typically refer to the Saturday before Easter as Easter Eve, so I guess I’m not just totally clueless.

And who is to say that our point of perception is the only place in time that has the quality of existence? Past time has passed out of existence and future time has yet to come into existence.  How is it that our perception happens to be attached to the only point in time where time has real existence out of all of the time that ever has been and ever will be?  Is it because we just happen to be among those who are living and existing at the current place in time where the present is at?  Can there really only ever be one point in time, out of unimaginably large amounts of time, where an active and d
