Over breakfast we began discussing the meaning and significance of our contemporary Easter rituals. What is the meaning of the easter egg and what is its link to the Easter season? A symbol of the latent power of life present in the stone like egg? Then we discussed the bunny. My son mentioned a lesson at school that linked the bunny to the season of spring, a promise of new life. I went to the fridge and took a recently purchased police bunny and asked "What does this mean??!!". My 10 year old son pondered and then reminded me of this newspaper article about police speed traps. I had a few moments before been commenting about a speed trap at the bottom of a hill. But maybe my son has a point. Maybe Easter is a time to slow down and reflect. Reject Feaster and bring back Easter . A season in which the virtue of the living God confronted religious, commercial and legal authority.
