Easter Morning


EASTER MORNING
Long Beach Island, NJ
1976


Easter is yet another holiday that does not hold my interest but today I go to the Sunrise Mass on the beach with my family. I come poorly prepared as it is still freezing this early in the morning.  So I am slightly miserable and insufferable until I see the horizon turn pink. The sunrise is beautiful.  The priest stops the Mass for just a moment at the first hint of the sun peaking up from the horizon. We all watch in silence and without a que from anyone, everyone claps in unison, as the sun becomes a complete circle.
