Easter Gives Locals a Taste of Spring

It's no coincidence that the egg is an important symbol for both Easter and Passover, celebrated this Sunday and all this week, respectively. The spring holidays are a time for rebirth, both liturgically and spiritually.

For Jews, it's the celebration of freedom; for Christians, the rebirth of Christ; and for everyone, the tossing off of winter sluggishness, cleaning out those closets and setting foot outside, refreshed and renewed. 

As reader Amul Goswamy said on Palo Alto Patch Facebook this week, "Ask anyone with backyard hens when egg production starts picking up."
