I just want to wish all of my friends, sisters and brothers here on Susan's a happy easter!
Do take it slow on the Easter eggs though. ::)

Thank you, and Happy Easter to you too. ;D
Well here in Australia it's already Easter, everything is closed. Even the casino here in Brisbane shuts it's bars till Friday midnight..
I have wondered about eggs and the rabbit, doesn't make sense ! I know the egg represents new life but unless the catholic church wants us to procreate like rabbits....? I don't see the relationship...LOL
Have a great easter to all xo
Easter weekend, always followed by Egg Salad Monday! Hugs, Devlyn

Well, as I understand it, the medieval church took an "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" approach to many existing pagan traditions. However, the extinguish part never fully caught on with the laity. As a result, many of our holidays retain idiosyncrasies from earlier pagan traditions that have nothing to do with the holiday's stated christian purpose. See also: Christmas, Halloween
Anyway, Happy Easter.
I'll be at the sunrise service 6am.
Thanks! Hope everyone else gets a chance to relax over the weekend!

Hugs to everyone for Easter.
If you miss family and friends remember we are here.
For those of a religious nature I wish you a Holy Easter and may your Gods bless you.
I'll be celebrating Easter at my UU church after service. "Celebrating" with biological extended family is essentially impossible, so that's out.
