Previously, YouTube was out of the question. I might have to rethink how Google will fit into my longterm strategy for this website. I understand that religion can be controversial, and even upsetting to people, but why not just put some bunnies on the homepage to be friendly? This year, Google did that – and more. About a year ago, I deleted my Google account because I felt the company was not being respectful to Christians. That was enlightening and very nice to read. I did not know the historical context of Easter Egg hunts. To commemorate this, in the late 16th century the Protestant reformer Martin Luther is said to have organized egg hunts for his congregation, where men would hide eggs for women and children to find. A hollowed out shell is seen as a metaphor for his empty tomb, which according to the Bible was discovered by a group of women. While the egg has long been associated with new life and rebirth, Christian traditions also adopted it as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus. Here’s a quote from the “Easter Egg Hunts” page… Depending on which drawing you click, the related “Easter Traditions” page is shown. The dropped drawings expand in size on mouseover. While this interactive display doesn’t specifically mention Jesus, there are many linked pages. All sorts of Easter themed drawings dropped down from the top of the screen – chocolates, flowers, bunnies and more. I clicked the cutesy button, which revealed the full “Doodle”. It had a smiley face and it was very playful looking. The word “lucky” was replaced with an animated Easter egg. That’s a screen recording of the Google Easter Doodle – in 4K!Īt first I thought it was going to be another snub, but then I noticed that the “I’m feeling lucky” button was changed.
