Dear Renaissance Speakers and Friends:
Our meeting theme this Sunday is “EASTER”, hosted by our Meeting Toastmaster Dotty Benveniste.
Easter is the single most important holy day throughout Christianity.
It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ — a central belief for Christians worldwide and the focal point of their faith.
Over time, many pagan celebrations have been merged with Easter to welcome the season of spring. These relatively modern traditions include the Easter bunny — a figure associated with spring, who brings colorful eggs symbolizing new life.
The christening of the holiday as ‘Easter’ is believed to have originated from the name of a goddess in England, Eostre, who was celebrated at the beginning of spring before Christ’s time.
Join us this Sunday, April 9, 2023, 9 AM (PST) on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/8139652106
Jeff is a two-time Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) and the current VP Public Relations of Renaissance Speakers.
