Easter!
Ah, Easter! The time when eggs are painted and scattered for kids to find, and chocoloate bunnies have their asses bitten off - all in celebration of an event that left behind not only a white handkerchief in a cave, but also centuries of ... whatever you choose it to be. Religious art is the only redeeming value of this insanity.
In celebration of Catholic and Protestant Easter, here are two selections from Bach's Easter and Ascension Oratorios.

Your selection of music makes it so much more than a token gesture on a token day :) I share with you the opinion about religious art. Generally if I were to look for the proof of the existence of God it would be in the realm of art. Love of God is one of the many kinds of love experienced by humans and it is love (I believe) that lets us transcend the mortal coil and create all the beauty of great art.
