Darlings, This Is The Day That Mary Magdalene Carried Spices To The Tomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   Happy Easter, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   This day is about different things for different people.  For some, it is chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and multi-colored eggs.  For others, it is watching "The Ten Commandments," or some such film.

                                     But when it comes right down to it, what Easter is about is Mary Magdalene carrying spices to the tomb, to anoint the body of Jesus.  Which is how the Gospel opens--"At dawn, on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb."  That's right, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!  She may not have known how to love Him, but she knew the importance of anointing the Body with spices.

                                      Of course, as we all know, she found the rock rolled away, and ran to tell the Disciples, "The Lord has been taken from the tomb!"  It is debatable what she wore, so, when you see that scene, darlings, in "The Greatest Story Ever Told, " with Carroll Baker running from the tomb, the "Hallelujah Chorus" on the soundtrack, dressed in a bright, red, Dorothy Lamour-type sarong, I would be just a bit suspicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    Not to forget the Resurrection, loves--after all, this is what Easter is for--but I think it is high time Mary Magdalene got her due!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Happy Easter, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      And don't ask any of this to Yvonne Elliman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
