It's a personal tradition - major festivals demand a red outfit.  Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, Induction, Baptisms (when it's usually a red tee-shirt!).

So today I am wearing a red dress, a red cardigan, a red scarf and red shoes.

Like the red duffle coat I bought almost a decade ago, defying the fear of a cancer diagnosis, so the red outfit worn at home defies the darkness of this time.

Surrexit - Christ is Risen... These words defy reason, defy darkness, declare the hope that, in the end, all will be well.
