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...!
In England, I wonder if I could claim "religious immunity from prosecution" if I did these at Easter? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/06/easter-monday-tradition-whipping-slovakia-girls-health

Last yr it was all telling us what a "good idea" it was to fund radical Islamics in Syria etc. This yr, its all how we should let lots of unscreened Muslims into Europe.
