Celebrating Easter in Columbus, Ohio

April brings us the celebration of Easter in Columbus. For many, it's a celebration of a special religious holiday.

It's also an official sign that spring has sprung... as the Easter Lilies pop up to brighten the earth.

It's a happy time for those that have been suffering from cabin fever.

Many families enjoy the day and spend it together celebrating with a meal.

Children are excited... it's time to hunt for Easter eggs and candy! And... to meet the Easter Bunny! There is something special about watching the little ones with their baskets hunting for the goodies!
