Easter Sunday 2020 Thoughts

(This is a continuation of the previous piece, “Holy Saturday 2020 Thoughts”)

     Last Saturday, on the Holy Saturday of the Western Church, I undermined common notions of Christian absolutes. I pointed out the fissure that exists in the religious psyche, namely that a reductive mindset is inherent with bad character, the main consequence of this being that the common understanding of objective reality is problematic. I started out with describing what the poet does, and I ended with questions of the blackness Jesus entered upon his death. Today, on Eastern Orthodox Easter, I will return to the notion of the poet’s task in conclusion.
