Easter Gifts for Dads
The word Easter is thought to have come from the pagan word "Eastre," who is the Teutonic goddess of spring. For this reason some Christians prefer to use the term "Resurrection Sunday." Nonetheless Easter is celebrated as the annual Christian remembrance of Christ's rebirth. It is also a time to celebrate with family and friends the coming of spring. If you would like to get your father something special to help commemorate the holiday, you have several options. Does this Spark an idea?
