Christianity: It’s about custom fitting…
Happy Easter to all my peeps in America and all the peeps, who celebrate it this Sunday April 12th and have one heck of an Easter egg hunt, if you do that activity.
But don’t return the favor as of yet, since my Easter is one week later on April 19th. It’s always a drag that I can’t get the festive spirit, when you guys celebrate it, but at least we have Christmas and New Year’s Eve on the same date. I guess Christianity is not exactly consistent with itself in its different departments.
When you think about it there are actually so many divisions of Christians out there starting with Catholics, evangelists, orthodox Christians, protestants and then there is the Armenian Church and hopefully not that many more out there. And it seems that every ‘division’ has to jumble up the calendar with events.
This Sunday we have a different holiday to celebrate. It is called Flower’s Day and all the people, who are named after flowers or plants celebrate. In our culture this is very important and has stuck with Easter orthodox tradition and it is always one week before the Easter festivities. The Saturday before this holiday we celebrate Lazarus day. Now next week is the Easter and I cannot wait to eat the special sweet bread we prepare for it. It is like cotton candy and bread mixed in together.
So this has been your official lesson in Easter orthodox Christianity. Take a note
