Easter Egg miracle

The ritual of celebrating Easter with egg-shaped chocolate eggs, and other decorative egg delicacies, could denote that the end need not be irrevocable; it could signify a new beginning. The egg contains life and when it hatches, a fledgling chick emerges that goes on to begin a new life. The egg may have 'died' when its shell cracked, but not before heralding new hope and life.

Jesus Christ is believed to have been crucified and left to die on Good Friday, but he miraculously emerged from his shroud the following Sunday and rose to life. Maybe this happened because Jesus was the Son of God, but what about us mortals? What happens when we die? Surely, we don't come back to life?

As a matter of fact, in a manner of speaking, we do, indeed, return to life but in a different way. When the body is cremated or decomposes after burial, the atoms that made up the physical body disburse into the atmosphere and become indistinguishable from millions of other atoms from various sources that carry on forming part of the recipe of new life.


Much like teleportation in science fiction, atoms could become part of a newly formed, yet unborn, person, progressing from sperm and egg, zygote, blastocysts, embryo and foetus, to a newborn infant, made up of atoms. These atoms could come from different 'deceased' individuals. The process is nothing short of a recycling miracle. An Easter miracle!
