Do you know?
Easter [A.S. Eastre, name of a spring goddess], chief Christian feast, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion. In the West, Easter is celebrated on the Sunday following the full moon next after the vernal equinox; thus, it falls between Mar. 22 and Apr. 25.
Good Friday, anniversary of Jesus' death on the cross. According to the Gospels, Jesus was put to death on the Friday before Easter Day. Since the early church Good Friday has been observed by fasting and penance. In the Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Anglican traditions, the celebration of the Eucharist is suspended; liturgical service involves veneration of the cross, the Passion narrative from the Gospel of St. John, and communion using bread and wine consecrated the previous day, Maundy Thursday. Other forms of observance include prayer and meditation at the Stations of the Cross, a succession of 14 images, usually on wooden crosses, depicting Christ's crucifixion and the events leading up to it.
My Easter Friday was spent with dearies Joey and Evoynne at Lawry's for high tea. It was a simple combination of cheese fries, calamari, yorkshire rolls and dessert sampler but it got us filled up in high contentment. We discussed excitedly about possibilities of going on a short trip to Cebu or Boracay or Bangkok or just a cruise to take our minds away.
I can't wait already.
