When you encounter stores that indicate that they will not close from 12-3:00 pm on Good Friday or on Easter Sunday, mention to them that as a Christian you consider it improper for you and other Christians to shop during those hours. Politely suggest that their Christian employees would appreciate having those hours off. You could also invite the manager to your church during this time and indicate that their entire family would be very welcome then or anytime.
Easter is a Christian holyday, not a legal holiday. Speak up if you feel that any Easter displays that occur in or on school or municipal grounds during the Easter Season are inappropriate. If you agree and are feeling bold, state that continuing to inter-mix the rabbit symbol of the fertility goddess Eastre into the Christian Easter Season is offensive to you and that it is also inappropriate under the establishment clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Keep in mind that we must trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior, and acknowledge him as Lord of all and Head of the Church Universal. Through Him we believe in One God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In our faith walks we must seek to follow the lead of our Lord Jesus Christ, love our neighbors as ourselves, and work for the reconciliation of the world – secular and Christian. Never try to inflict your beliefs on others, rather showcase them in how you live your life in Christian love and offer to share them freely to those willing to accept.
