Easter & Passover festivities

For those that celebrate, happy Easter and happy Passover!

We hope you all have a great weekend, no matter what or how you celebrate or what you get upto!

Thank you.

I must try to get to Church this Sunday (and, no, not just because they give everyone in the congregation little Easter eggs) 😆

I also seen to have made a few Muslim friends on here so I'd just like to say Ramadan Mubarak and hope they're keeping the fast okay.

Well, for all of you who didn't go to church last Sunday, you get a second chance!. Happy Easter ( the Orthodox version )! Yes, I wonder if we, humans, can get any lame then this...as it looks like we can't agree on a date when Christ died and rose. So, enjoy... again.

Actually, it's more that we can't agree on a calendar. Western Churches use the Gregorian calendar (with reforms by Pope Gregory VIII in the 16th century) but the Eastern Orthodox tradition did not originally adopt it (some have now), but kept using the Julian calendar (the Roman calendar as reformed by Julius Caesar with some later tweaks). The difference in the dates of Christmas and Easter are due to that difference in calendars.

But, yeah, Happy Easter to those using the Julian calendar!

And Ramadan Mubarak to any Muslims reading! I know my son and his Muslim partner are coming down this week to spend Eid al'Fitr with her family (and visit us, too).
