Publisher's Synopsis
The Easter issue of Ideals always begins the year with breathtaking beauty. Rejoice in the fulfilment of springtime with poems and prose about the first lovely blossoms and with exquisite photographs and illustrations. Participate in the Christian recognition of the Easter season with the seventeenth-century paintings of Philippe de Champagne that depict the Last Supper, a portrait of Christ during his captivity, and the triumphant supper at Emaus. Within the pages of this issue, readers can learn about the remembered attractions of Main Street in Brattleboro, Vermont, from author Elizabeth Raum in a new feature entitled Hometown America. Author Joan Donaldson shares the refreshing wonders of a Backyard Garden. Former Ideals editor Michelle Prater Burke fondly recalls the influence of her Iranian grandmother who, in addition to giving her gold bracelets, also passed on certain goals for her life in another new feature, Someone to Remember.
