Journey asks Georgia Corowa: What does Easter mean to you?

EASTER to me means remembering what Jesus did for us in our Christian faith.

It is a good time for celebration and another reason to get together with family and friends and celebrate being in love with God and everything to do with that.

I think living in this society Easter has become really commercialised and it is easy to overlook Easter and think of it as just another weekend off.

In saying that, the real meaning of Easter is very special and it should be celebrated.

It is the ultimate sacrifice that Christ did for humankind.

In that way Easter is love, but to put it in today’s context we really have to personalise it to what we do in our everyday lives and make it our work in our everyday lives.

It is not just about Easter, it is about your personal choice in how you choose to live your life.

And don’t eat too much chocolate!
