RODNEYSE BICHOTTE HERMELYN
Easter is a joyous holiday celebrated by Christians. The holiday honors the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion as told in the New Testament [1]. The word "Easter" is derived from Eostre, the goddess of spring and fertility [2].

Traditions leading up to Easter Sunday includes 40 days of sacrificing something that you treasure. The sacrifice period is known as Lent. This is in remembrance of the 40 days of fasting and prayer observed by Christ [3]. This year, Easter falls on Sunday, April 17.

Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn hopes your Easter is filled with love, happiness and blessings!
