Pope Benedict XVI celebrates the Solemn Mass of Easter Sunday on 4/8/2012 at the Vatican. From EWTN.

If you haven't seen this before, now is the time to watch it. It's a piece of video art by Lernert Engleberts and Sander Plug as part of a preschool art project called "Big Art for Little People."

Easter's right around the corner, so it's time to get into the holiday spirit. Create some awesome eggs, stuff yourself with Peeps--whatever floats your Easter boat. If none of this prep works for you though, we say take a cue from these Easter bunny babies.

It's Easter weekend and you'll probably have family over, and if you're not totally sure how to set the table for their arrival, this video will help.

In South Louisiana, two things seem to hand in hand with Easter: Crawfish and Gold Brick Eggs. Sure a lot of people eat fish sticks, ham and jelly beans, but crawfish and Elmer's are a part of nearly every Acadiana family's Good Friday or Easter menu.

Easter isn't just about chocolates and eggs.... different regions around the world hold different Easter traditions....

Ah, spring has arrived, and in less than two weeks, Easter will be here! One of my favorite spring-time and Easter traditions is the ceremonial eating of WAY too many Cadbury Creme Eggs.

If you are like me, you LOVE to look at pictures.  When people extend an invitation to view their vacation pics/vids, I am never one to decline!  (Wait, is this a 'problem'??  Do I need therapy??!?) So, for those like me who live vicariously through the pictures/videos of others' lives, here is a gallery of pics from my weekend.

This amazing film of the Traditional Catholic Latin Mass was made on Easter Sunday at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Chicago, Illinois, on April 13, 1941. During that year, Franklin D.. Roosevelt was our President, it cost .03 to mail a letter, the Yankees won the World Series, and Pearl Harbor was attacked, marking the United States' entry into World War II...

As far as holidays go, Easter might not be as popular as Christmas or Halloween, but it still has traditions and treats that can raise anyone’s spirit, mood or blood sugar level. The most interesting part of this annual celebration of Spring and rebirth is the supposed difference in the ways they are celebrated.

They might seem cute, fuzzy and fake in the eyes of someone with a college education and an unpaid mortgage, but Easter terrors are clearly harboring some kind of evil that only children can smell. The blog, Sketchy Bunnies, has been compiling the worst wabbits ever to grace the pages of a family’s photo album. These are the sketchiest of the sketchy.

Today the Money Songs are worth $500 each. Do you know when they'll play? $500 will buy a lot of Easter candy! Check this out:

You already know Lafayette is a wonderful place to live. There's the unique culture, the delicious food - our holidays are rooted in family traditions. Before or after Church, there are some pretty cool and/or unusual things to do around Lafayette for Easter. ...

Are you hitting the road for Easter? Whether you're searching for chocolate bunnies or taking a long weekend, be aware of what's ahead on the roads of Louisiana before you go. Here are the highlights from LA DOTD:

Yes, you read that right, Easter Bunny Hunt!  In New Zealand, it's an annual tradition. They say they have to do it to cut the number of pest bunnies there, but come on, do they have to do it around Easter?

Even though my children are 17 and 24, yesterday I was out shopping for Easter candy.  As we approach Easter, the second biggest candy consuming holiday after Halloween, consider this: consumers worldwide are now eating more than $108 billion worth of sweet confections annually.

The Blue Plate Special is selected by our boss and is featured as the very last song on the Polyester Power Hour.  Today, he selected Sammy Davis Jr's 1972 Number One hit, The Candy Man. Did you enjoy it as much as CJ and Debbie Ray did?
