Who would have thought, as we celebrated Easter last year under the thumb of a global pandemic, that we'd be here again the following year facing many of the same challenges. While there are now several vaccines for COVID-19 and an overall decline in its spread, many parts of North America (and beyond) are still in lockdown. And masks aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Still, I'm always so heartened to see how the optimism of spring manages to shine through, even when times are tough. The wonderful members of the Martha Moments Facebook Group have yet again proven that where there's a will there's a way: Easter was celebrated with as much beauty and festivity as ever before, even if the guest list was short - or nonexistent. Below are some of the photographs shared on the group's page. Enjoy!
