Happy Easter

Once, I heard that churches swell two times a year - Christmas and Easter. This always seemed paradoxical to me - if you truly believe in Jesus Christ, why would you only acknowledge that twice a year? But hey, I guess people can do whatever they like. I wish everyone a pleasant, spiritual Easter (and belated Passover greetings, as well).

Regardless of what you do believe, however, it's evident that much of the greatest Western art is rooted in the deep emotions and images concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus. From the incredulity of The Last Supper, the sorrow expressed in Michelangelo's Pieta, to the mystery and wonder of the resurrection, Easter is a time of profound depictions.
