Rafa, you said: "while you will be celebrating alone this holiday you say everybody lost."
I don't believe that anyone who love's Yahsuah is lost Rafa...and I do not question anyones faith...but I do question the practices and traditions that have been added by various groups. We need to be careful not to go beyond what is written.
And Rafa...I am certainly not alone in my beliefs, and am in good company too. I don't believe we are to mix the traditions of men in with the Holy Feasts of God, and understand the spiritual meaning and its fulfilment in Christ...
The whole Pashka Feast is filled with meaning and Spiritual depth. I celebrate the Resurrestion of our Master with all my Brothers and Sisters in Meshikha. This year I celebrated it with the local Antiochian Greek Orthodox Church in my area...and it was wonderfull...I was very blessed... minus the red eggs, which is of pagan worship origin and not neeful or helpful...other than to eat them I guess.
Next Pashka, I am hoping to celebrate the Feast of the Resurrection with the Mar Yosip Assyrian Church of The East, in San Jose, near where I live...and will be celebrating the whole Feast of Pashka in my heart, with much thanksgiving as I do so.
May our Alaha, bless the socks off of you Rafa. <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
