Poem
As our Lord was resurrected 
He left behind symbols of the torture to which He was subjected 
To remind us of his sacrifice 
With the belief that they will suffice 
What symbols are these you ask
But in this poem I will unmask

Dogwood trees are said to have made his cross
Surely by now it is covered by moss 

Next, is the Easter lily
I know to nonbelievers this may sound silly. 
It is written that when Jesus perspired from the cross 
A white lily would pop up to signify His loss.  

Palm branches are a symbol of a tropical location
But did you know Israelites laid these down for Jesus as he entered Jerusalem prior to His crucifixion. 
These branches signify victory and peace 
For this, some people place palm branches on their mantle piece

Believe it or not, butterflies are a symbol of His resurrection
Both have our affection 

A delicacy that comes to mind is hot cross buns 
Made of spices believed to be used in Jesus’ burial preparations passed on to daughters and sons. 
A cross made from flour paste signifies His crucifix 
Though you can find these at a bakery, this treat does not come in a cake mix. 
We partake in this tasty treat on Good Friday 
Some pair it with a nice Cabernet 

The empty tomb signifies thee we promise of rebirth when you walk with the Lord
His sacrifice is to be adored 
The empty tomb is the mystery of resurrection 
In hopes of an otherworldly connection 

A Paschal candle made of beeswax
That we try not to let drip on our jackets or slacks
Marked with a cross, alpha and omega, and the year
Smaller candles are lit by our peer
This represents the light of Jesus to this in attendance as well as for those afar
Regardless of who or where they are 

A couple of other symbol are rabbits and baby chicks 
Do not fall for the devil’s tricks 
A great symbol of Easter to bring home as a pet 
That some might regret  

Lambs symbolize Jesus Himself
As He is the human embodiment of the Paschal lamb itself 
A truly sacrificial animal during biblical time
I wonder if lamb tastes good with thyme  

The most powerful symbol is the cross
To some, they may be at a loss
Some churches add spikes and a thorn crown 
At times, you may see crosses outside on church lawns around town. 

Easter is a powerful message for believers 
Taught at a young age by Sunday school teachers 
This message is expanded on by the pastor 
As we prepare to enter the hereafter.
