Happy Easter in Sheepshead Bay

This picture was taken of just one lawn decoration in front of a house on East 19 St between Voorhies Avenue and Jerome Avenue.

According to the Holidays on the Net website, the most important holiday for Christians became associated with rabbits and hares, since they were very fertile animals. That sense of fertility offered a symbol of the new life that Jesus Christ’s resurrection offered to the world.

As a home to quite a few Christians, Catholic and Protestants, alike, Sheepshead Bay has been known not just as a multi-ethnic place, but a multi-denominational one, as well. For those of you who would like to find a place to worship or experience a little of this Christian holy day, you can find numerous houses of worship in our area.
