Mmm... Chocolate

Well its good friday tomorrrow and that means its the easter holiday. In which we remember the death and possible rebirth of a man who through the events of four days changed the fundimental thinking of many people. Also I am aware that many other religous holidays take place around this time. I was wondering do you think it odd that easter takes place during what passes as fall around here yet I tend to focus on the ressurection aspect (and the chocolate eggs that come with it). Yet the Northen Hemisphere as it in spring yet they focus on his death. This is ofcourse using the fusion between christian and pagan beliefs that accorded in europe when christianity was introduced. So what are you celerbrating or doing at this time of year?

I am doing the same thing you are doing Fireball....after all the main aspect of Easter is the resurrection of Christ. At this time i will be going to church alot and eating my chocolate of course.

Good Friday? bah, I am not very religous (is a non-practicing Lutheran O_o) but I will be enjoying The Matrix Revolutions come easter

During the entire month of April, my mom goes around decorating the house with bunnies, flowers, jellybean filled candy dishes, and images of Christ with little baby lambs. I really hate it. It's embarrassing to bring friends over to my house during this time of year.

On Easter day, after my family returns from church, my mom prepares a huge picnic in our backyad. Reltives, friends and neighbors are often invited, so it's always pretty hectic and busy. Mormons are a very social people, sometimes I think their friendliness with each other is almost annoying.

Ill be spending Easter with (half of) my family. Im not sure about the death or ressurection thing... it seems to me though, that when my family prays before dinner, that its recognized as the ressurection.
Anyways, my cousins birthday happens to fall on Easter Sunday this year, so we'll be celebrating that as well.
Ah, and of course, theres the chocolate to be had.^_^
Im sure my little cousins will be doing egg hunts or something fun like that. I dont do that anymore, Ive helped set it up the past two times though.^.^

We don't celebrate easter much since we aren't too religious, so baisically I just get candy...and lots of it. I love easter candy; its something about pastel candy that makes it so good ^____^

At my house we celebrate Easter as more of a tradition than a religious holiday, even though we are a very religious family. We prefer to celebrate the idea of the death, burial, and ressurection every day, rather than confine it to a springtime Sunday. In other words, there's candy to be had, eggs to be found, and food to be cooked and eaten. It's just a day for some family time and good clean fun.

We go to church, have the Easter service, and after we eat a filling lunch and have a giant easter egg hunt.

Yeah, I guess that I'm basically the same as everyone else.

I'll cruise to church in the morning. Pick up some eggs from somewhere and then I'm planning to skate the rest of the day away .

Muwahahaha... there is the perfect quote for this thread, look in Tsukasa's sig and you'll see it.

THE FATE OF DESTRUCTION IS ALSO THE JOY OF REBIRTH.

My family's coming over on Sunday! *sunshine!!*
The big thing is dinner for easter...Dave could tell you more...
