What Easter Means To Dante


Once a year my parents would drag my heathen ass to church. I would have to wear nice clothes, be bored out of my mind, and fall asleep while a lot of loud Black people sang songs I didn’t understand. In the modern world its known as Easter. And what does Easter mean?

“Christians believe, according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus.”
