We celebrate the renewal of life as seen by the newly emerging life in many forms all around us. A resurrection from all that looks dead is seen as the Earth regenerates and renews itself. This is symbolized in resurrection myths in many cultures and traditions. There are many myths about the “Year Gods” ( Attis, Adonis, Osiris, and Dionysus) – who, like Christ, die and are reborn. He is symbolic of the vegetation, dying each year (at harvest) to be reborn in the spring.
