    Happy Easter!
    Especially to our persecuted and suffering brothers and sisters in the Middle East

    Yep Happy Orthodox Easter to all nearly all Orthodox Christians around the World.


    From http://goeasteurope.about.com/od/romania/fl/Easter-in-Romania.htm
    Easter Customs.

    (At Easter, two persons) knocking eggs together end-to-end is a popular game. Two eggs are cracked together, the first person saying, “Christ is risen,” and the second person saying, “Indeed He is risen.” The loser will die earlier and must present his egg to the winner so as not to be dealt a rotten egg in the afterlife

    Phew. Thats a bit harsh...
    Esp if you can't choose who you knock eggs with...

    Western kids should be glad they just get chocolate...!
