Spring is finally here, a time of rebirth, with flowers (and pesky pollen but we’ll save that discussion for another time), baby animals, and family gatherings. It’s hard to imagine spring without the reminders of Passover and Easter everywhere you turn – from pastel clothing in store windows, to brightly colored baskets lining the shelves of your local grocery store, to an oversized and sometimes terrifying giant bunny wandering around the shopping mall. Even if the stores are short on eggs, or they’re priced as if they were laid by a golden goose, Philo has plenty of Easter and Passover shows and movies to get you into the seasonal spirit. So make sure to take some time to recline, and enjoy the following shows, movies, and specials (don’t forget to hit the save (+) button on your favorite shows and movies so you never miss an airing!):
