Easter Observations...

How many of you out there are of a somewhat religious nature? Right - for all of you who just raised your hands, I have some questions to pose and comments to make. Keep in mind that while I am Catholic myself, I am not terribly religious, and so am unsure about some of what I speak. Bear with me.

I managed to spend this evening with my family (including my future Brother-In-Law) at a very relaxing family dinner at my parent's house. We had (as we always do on Good Friday) Fish and Chips for dinner. Is it just me, or does everybody take the opportunity to have that meal on this particularly day? My sister mentioned to me how very busy the local Fish and Chip shop was when they went in to pick up our dinner.

An interesting conversation that came up at the dinner table (brought up by myself actually) was about the names of the days around Easter itself. I was unsure as to what each day was called officially, and I would like to check in with all of you here as well. My Mum was taught by Nuns and my Dad an Altar Boy, but that doesn't mean I don't want a second opinion.

Thursday - Maundy Thursday

Friday - Good Friday

Saturday - Holy Saturday

Sunday - Easter Sunday

Monday - Squirting Day (Polish culture, it appears? My brother-in-law-to-be is Polish)

How close am I with all of these, ladies and gentlemen? I expect the names might be slightly different, depending on what part of the world you are from, but I gotta ask just the same.

And on that note, I would like to wish you ALL a Happy Easter. May you also get the opportunity to spend some time with your families as I have, and celebrate this weekend in your own way. Take care of yourselves, be good to your neighbours. :)
