Rebirth is the main theme behind not only Christianity but other religions that have celebrated the resurrection mythology. The symbolic nature of Easter is the process of dying to the old self and being reborn in a spiritual sense.

Beyond religious dogma lies a deeper meaning that can be utilized by anyone inclined to live a more fulfilling life. Easter can be a powerful metaphor, one that helps us to re-examine our current state of being and then decide how we need to evolve. It can be a great day, similar to New Year’s, to become motivated to change what needs to be changed and let go of what needs letting go.
