The flowers are beautiful. They of themselves make spring my second most favorite time of the year (late summer/early fall is probably still my favorite). It's good to see things blooming in some part of the world. Flowers have been trying around here but then get beaten down by rain or stunted by the cooler overnight temperatures. Today was a nice day, though.
Just a brief word on the killing of the lamb. I suppose every faith looks at this differently in some way. The way I was taught is that animal sacrifice, which is what I equate what you're saying to, was done away with when Christ sacrificed himself. So, the sacrifice ritual, which was supposed to remind the people throughout the ages that Christ was coming was fulfilled in Him, through His atoning sacrifice and subsequent resurrection.
So, for what it's worth, I'm with you about the sacrificial lamb killing on Easter. :)
