Heretics and schismatics who follow the erroneous teachings of the Bishop or Rome, Martin Luther and Jean Calvin celebrate Easter now.

Those who are of the Church of the Seven Councils celebrate next week.

Orthodox Easter is on 23 April this year.

I think you're all losing the true meaning of Easter.

My mate sent me an Easter card. It was a picturre of two chocolate bunnies.
One of them said 'my ar.se hurts' (someone had taken a bite out of his rear end) the other one said'what?' (someone had bitten off his ears)...... well I thought it was funny.

It begs the question. When it comes to chocolate bunnies are you an ar.se person or an ear person?

You should do a poll I reckon.

My dad used to buy the ears off my chocolate rabbit. Back in the day, I'd make an extra 2 bucks (Canadian) that way!

I like to eat the face first so it stops looking at me.

When I was a kid, my dad used to embarrass me by telling all my friends he was the Easter Bunny. He didn't just do it at Easter, but pretty much all year around. He was very insistent. Sometimes the friends believed him. In the beginning, I wasn't altogether sure. But then, I was a freak kid and I believed in Santa until I was 10. Even after I decided the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny were highly implausible, I still believed in Santa.

I guess in retrospect, my dad in fact was the Easter Bunny, though perhaps my mom was the one who actually purchased the pink and green plastic grass for our Easter baskets.

And that's what Easter is all about, Charlie Brown.
