EASTER CLIPART
Received an Easter card that has me puzzled. On the front are the words "He is Risen" surrounded by clouds and a rainbow. The words are written between the uplifted wings of a dove. An image of Christ is nowhere to be found.
The card comes from the Servants of Mary, Servite Order, Berwyn, IL, and is a Novena of Masses card, which I presume was a request for donations. On the inside the dove image is repeated and the words "Let all the world rejoice as the spirit of Christ's Resurrection brings it grace and the promise of eternal life. Happy Easter."
"Spirit of the Resurrection"? What's wrong with the Resurrection itself? Why no image of Christ? Why no empty tomb? Why not at least an Easter lilly? Clouds, a rainbow, and a dove?
I went through Google to look at Easter clipart to see if I was missing something. Couldn't find much of it, but no dove in anything I found. This card is weird.
