Illustration Friday: dip

For I remember it is Easter morn,
And life and love and peace are all new born.
~Alice Freeman Palmer
Now let the heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin:
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Invisible and visible,
Their notes let all things blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen
Our joy that hath no end.
Saint John of Damascus
Easter morning when I was little was dressing up in our new clothes(together with my two younger sisters) going to church at dawn watching the reenactment of Jesus resurrection…..walking with candles on our hands together with other children and grown-ups in a procession of huge statues of saints…..Afterwards, we go home and eat our breakfast and native delicacies and play and maybe take a nap…….I only learned about easter eggs and decorating them much later in my life :) that is why this illustration of an easter egg dipped in chocolate is my treat to myself.
