Saving grace: How I reclaimed Easter GlobeDebate
I dreaded Easter as a teenager. I loved the candy, the chocolate and the four-day weekend, but growing up Catholic meant there was more to the holiday than Cadbury commercials and decorated eggs. My parents were active church members and, because they spent most of the holiday singing, volunteering or playing the organ , I grew up tagging along.
My fall from grace was fast and tumultuous. Without the obligation of going to services, I reserved Good Fridays for drinking wine from water bottles with best friends while we scream-sang hymns we’d learned in elementary school . Holy Thursdays then transformed to merely Thursdays, and Easter Sunday was, for me, now a holiday defined by treats and rest until it was time to get ready for family dinner. And of course, I was a disrespectful nightmare.
