Real Dark Steves Don't Celebrate Easter. This is mostly because of Monty python and the Holy grail.

jinsoku wrote:Actually Craig and Jin, a slight misconception with that. Good Friday: Jesus is crucified. The first day. Holy Saturday: Jesus is still dead. The second day. Easter Sunday: Jesus is resurrected. The third day. So when the Bible states the Jesus arose on the third day, it means two days later from a Western perspective. It stems from the understanding that the Hebrew day began at sunset (hence why, in the Catholic Church, the Easter Triduum lasts from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday; it seems like four days to us, but it's actually three days from the Hebrew perspective: from Thursday evening to Sunday evening). jinsoku wrote:Well, given that there's the whole 'died for the sins of all humanity past, present, and future' thing and the Resurrection and the Ascension into Heaven...it's basically one of, if not THE (depending on who you ask) most important facet of Christianity. So yeah, it's a serious deal. o.o *and is also officially confirmed as a Catholic as of Easter Vigil* *so woohoo*

it must be easier to celebrate easter on a sunday, as it's already a church day.

@HPA: That is somewhat disturbing/hilarious. Though now I am hungry...

Hunting for Easter eggs (and getting lots of chocolate, which is part Halloween) that don't really seem to have that much of a connection to Christ's Death and Resurrection? Or 'FREE TOYS OM NOM NOM' amidst a backdrop of gift-giving to all, peace on Earth, good will to all men, and that sort of thing...which at least has some narrative significance to the birth of Jesus? I'm guessing the latter. |

Eh, I'm not complaining. The less crazy "OMG SHOP SHOP SHOP ALL FLUFF ALL FLUFF" commercialized holidays, the better. I'm just... surprised.
Not just Jin... he's Evil Jin.

I spent the entire weekend camping out and running around a field at a LARP event.
And I didn't get a single egg. Growing older is overrated.

I've heard that quote before, Sam. Still a lot of truth in that quote though.
