The story of Easter

Next week is Holy Week. Have you noticed how it is now, in error, being called Easter Week?
Is it commercialism wanting to hype up the festivity and hence sales or is it a fear of using the word 'holy'.

So what is to be said about Easter, any clever ideas out there? The victory of light over darkness, life over death - good ideas but what's the imaginative sexy idea that will stop people in their step and make them ask and wonder?

Does it ever dawn on you how poorly informed people are about the liturgy? During Lent I saw an Easter candle lighting in a sanctuary. When asked why it was lighting I was told that it was always lit at funerals etc.

There is such a wealth of tradition and symbolism within the Christian tradition and we all know so little about it.
