Easter morning doesn't begin in the light. It begins in the "not yet," the darkness before the dawn. The Rev. Canon Mark S. Anderson reminds us that Easter morning is a "Eucatastrophe," a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien. It's a sudden joyous turn of events that saves the protagonist from a seemingly inevitable tragedy. It is an unexpected, happy twist that reverses a dire situation, rather than simply erasing it.
