It's not about the eggs? Hmmm?

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to
look into the tomb; 12 and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of
Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13 They said to her,
“Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and
I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 When she had said this, she turned around
and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her,
“Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the
gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid
him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him
in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not
hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and
say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”
18Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she
told them that he had said these things to her.


My roommate told me that this was what Easter was all about. I don't know that I understand it, but I believe it. He is risen! Alleluia!
