Canopus Report post Posted March 26, 2016 Does Easter have any significance to you or not? Apart from products made from chocolate, why has Easter not gone the same way as Christmas as a commercialised national celebration rather than a purely religious celebration?

Confused Traveller Report post Posted March 26, 2016 I wouldn't notice any difference if I didn't need to think whether shops are shut on some days, and I have to put out the rubbish a day later. It just disrupts my routine a bit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aeolienne Report post Posted October 9, 2016 Christmas is Really for the Children by Steve Turner Christmas is really for the children.Especially for childrenwho like animals, stables,stars and babies wrappedin swaddling clothes.Then there are wise men,kings in fine robes,humble shepherds and a hint of rich perfume.Easter is not reallyfor the childrenunless accompanied bya cream filled egg.It has whips, blood, nails,a spear and allegations of body snatching.It involves politics, Godand the sins of the world.It is not good for peopleof a nervous disposition.They would do better tothink on rabbits, chickensand the first snowdropof spring.Or they'd do better towait for a re-run of Christmas without askingtoo many questions aboutwhat Jesus did when he grew upor whether there's any connection.
