Easter sunday

Happy easter! Best regards wishes and salutations on this the day the christian saviour rose from the dead to kick heathen ass.

To those not of this faith I dutifully apologise but I am of a christian family, In a majority vote christian country and by the saviour I shall celibrate the glorious day of hiz zombified revival! by eating curry....

 Many of you out there may not know but;

Easter; Greek: Πάσχα Paskha, from Hebrew: פֶּסַח Pesakh,) is the central religious feast in the Christian year. According to Christian scripture, Jesus was Ressurected from the dead on the third day after his Crucifixition. Some Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good friday and three days after Maundy thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between AD 26 and AD 36. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Penticost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance. ( Sourced from wiki dontcha know ) 

So yes today is the day of our heavenly father who died from his sins which is all very nice but it also a commercial hoday meaning CHOCOLATE and lots of it!

Im not a terribly religious man so I can certainly forgive not easting lets say a full english roast dinner with all the trimmings today and have a much loved Indian classic instead, I can also forgive that its become a holiday where the chocolate companies stuff thier wares down our throats so far its hard to breathe. I like chocolate, infact like most of the english I crave this creamy treat even with my dairy intollerence. 

 What is also nice is that it is a school holiday for both school and higher education alike ( two weeks off with only six weeks to go is rather lovely ) which brings me to something that I find bemusing and rather confusing. My Dearly beloved Caitlin.

A wonderful girl of catholic decent and an American, the country that is as far as I know rather christian to a fault doesnt have the week off, nor a bank holiday for easter. This strikes me as strange. Afterall, being its vast population are mainly christian I would have thought it was seen as a big deal, much like thanks giving or the fourth of July. Yet, apparently not.

Its a funny old world isnt it?

Personally I kick started my easter by waking up late to a fully cooked breakfast, having an arguement about who ate all the biccies ( Me naturally ) and driving about to see if any local super market was open. I would have thought on the day of Sabbath we as a family would at least rest for a while but hey you gotta do what you got to do.

 Im quite looking forward to that curry later.
