The
resurrection of Christ Jesus was an event of such tremendous importance that the Christian world has continued to honor it in ever-increasing measure.
In
the thirteenth chapter of Matthew's Gospel there are recorded these words of Christ Jesus: "The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
