Orthodox Easter

For anyone keeping track - this last weekend was Orthodox Easter - And we joined the throng celebrating Christ's Resurrection.

Really, it's harder to celebrate a holiday at a separate time than the culture around you (no wonder the Israelites kept getting pulled into the Native practices)

Orthodox Easter is a Big deal. Many people are strictly fasting in the weeks leading up to Easter and then they go and stand all night at the church for the Easter Eave Service and Blessing. On Sunday, you'll see people carrying their baskets of eggs, wine, Easter Bread, and other products to be served at the Easter Feast to the church to be blessed.
