The title, *Welcome Easter Morning*, presents the picture as a greeting to the day itself, the hour when many families have long marked Easter with sunrise services and the first light of spring. Because the holiday follows the lunar calendar, it can fall anywhere from late March to late April, and in many communities the morning began with church bells, new clothes, and a walk to services before the rest of the celebrations. Holiday pictures from this period often lean on those rituals of renewal, such as spring flowers and fresh starts, so it is worth looking for how the scene conveys that feeling of a new day beginning.
