Happy Easter to All

Growing up as a Catholic the Easter weekend was the biggest deal for religious events. Here is what I learnt.
These look yummy. Shortbread!
Yes, Happy Easter to everyone, just in the sense of a spring celebration. Passover is much later than Easter this year; usually they tend to be much closer; I suspect the Xians fiddled with the lunar calendar more than once. The Easter events take place during Passover and in Latin languages they have the same or similar names: Pasqua, Pascua, Pâque(s) etc.
Is anyone doing anything (choir singing, religious service, special meal, event for children or grandchildren etc)? I don't think I'm doing anything at all; in a week we are organising a spring supper with several friends.

I wish everyone, including the haters and losers, a very happy Easter!

I'm still puzzled about why exactly Jesus came back, when his intention all along was to ascend to heaven and sit on his father's right side. Did he forget something? Was he just showing his face to prove some kind of point? I confess I don't know the whole story, but if someone does, I'd be grateful for enlightenment.
We are having a a family diner tonight for 20 or so and an Ishtar chocolate egg and bunny hunt for the Grandkids.
Easter is triggered by the relationship of the Equinox to the full moon. This year is one of the earliest dates for Easter because the Equinox was on Saturday night and the next full moon was on Wednesday morning, thus making this Sunday Easter Sunday. I don't understand the Jewish calendar so I am not sure why Passover seems to fluctuate as well but not in step with the Xian religious calendar. For years I thought Passover was the week before Easter but that is not necessarily the case.
... and now the Easter Bunny makes perfect sense.
I thought Easter was cancelled, something about them finally finding the body... will have to google that now... back (much) later.
You are talking heresy don't you know it ascended on a cloud?
LOL!
Except for the part about laying eggs...
Awwww, I thought GOD was back to chat.
