Accession number: 64.635.<\/p><p><em>Galle\u2019s engraving is based on a monochrome wash drawing by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. In this engraving Christ is seen rising above the open tomb holding a banner and cross. Soldiers can be seen in the foreground sleeping, peering into the empty tomb, and reeling back at sight of the risen Christ. Mary and others, with expressions of adoration, are in the right middle ground with an angle between them and the risen Christ. A town can be seen in the distance. Christ\u2019s prominent golden halo resembles the rising sun, symbolizing the beginning of a new day and the promise of salvation.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3c2ec8e0\" data-id=\"3c2ec8e0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f11df6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f11df6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Easter Sunday<\/strong> &#8211; Date Varies<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32e9a8b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32e9a8b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Easter is the highest point of the Christian Year. It is the most important and ancient Christian festival, originating as the Christian version of Passover in the early church. In fact, most of the world calls Easter Pascha. The Sunday of Passover gained special significance because Christians gathered to worship on Sundays (which they called the Lord&#8217;s Day), and it was the day that Jesus was raised from the dead.<\/p><p>Scholars believe that originally Easter was a uni-feast that celebrated everything from Jesus&#8217; conception, birth, death, and resurrection. Eventually, all of the other celebrations were separated to be celebrated separately. Because Passover is marked by the first full moon of spring, Easter takes its cue from this and is celebrated the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. This explains why Easter falls on a different date every year. Passover celebrates the chief salvation event for the Jewish people\u2014their liberation from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the promised land. These same salvation motifs are maintained in the Christian version of Passover, except the chief salvation event is the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus becomes the paschal lamb who takes away the sins of the world by his sacrifice and now reigns victorious over life and death.<\/p><p>In order to connect all these themes, we like having lamb as the main dish for Easter. Lamb is a rare treat, and we have selected lamb chops with a mint sauce because it adds some Mediterranean flair. Pair the lamb with your favorite sides. We often like serving it with deviled eggs, a Southern treat reserved for Easter and funerals. While eggs were an important part of the Jewish Passover seder meal, eggs have also been associated with spring as a fertility symbol. One of the main reasons that the egg has become the symbol of Easter is the fact that the supply of eggs built up to an almost unmanageable number as people fasted from them during lent. There were too many eggs to eat, so people began decorating them as well. Another side we enjoy is roasted, multi-color carrots. They really brighten up the plate.<\/p><p>Easter is one of the great family meals where the story of our faith is passed down from generation to generation. It is a great time to remember the great moments of salvation history from our faith and families.<\/p><p>Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c79e374 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c79e374\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-58af289\" data-id=\"58af289\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f31c33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt\" data-id=\"2f31c33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-custom-recipe-card-post wpzoom-rcb-post-shortcode\" data-parent-id=\"8481\" data-recipe-post=\"8481\"><div id=\"wpzoom-premium-recipe-card\" class=\"wp-block-wpzoom-recipe-card-block-recipe-card header-content-align-center block-alignment-left is-style-newdesign\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lambwithmint-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled Lamb with Mint Sauce\" class=\"wpzoom-recipe-card-image\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/lambwithmint-800x530.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"Grilled Lamb with Mint Sauce\"\/>\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.recipe-card-image -->\n\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-heading\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"recipe-card-title\">Grilled Lamb with Mint Sauce<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-container\" data-rating=\"0.0\" data-rating-total=\"0\" data-recipe-id=\"8481\" data-user-can-rate=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars\"><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><\/ul><span class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-average\"><small class=\"wpzoom-rating-average\">0<\/small> <small>from<\/small> <small class=\"wpzoom-rating-total-votes\">0<\/small> <small>votes<\/small><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<em class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-tooltip\"><\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.recipe-card-heading -->\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"recipe-card-summary\">Grilled lamb with mint sauce is a classic Easter dish.
