Easter early this year..


This Easter it seems to be earlier than any other year. Can it be because of it being a leap year!? Well usually Easter would land in April but this year it seem to land in March. Don't ask me why its by the churches calculations of how long Lent (time of giving something up) would be. Easter is different in other countries where as in America we celebrate with Egg hunts and Sunday mass. The tradition of Easter Egg is the part usually for the children while Easter egg decoration is for adults. Easter is one of the Religious holidays which consist of many days of worship or days of certain parts or in simply words "Holy Week". Like the start of the Holiday, Lent where someone chooses something to give up for the 6 weeks. Which I gave up rice and still going strong! Then there is a Palm Sunday where the recievement of palm are given to be blessed. Then there is Good Friday where it lands on the Friday before Easter. That's usually when in some countries the sacrifice of themselves through Crucifixion. Then there's Easter. Simply a celebration through 3 months.
