Easter

Almost everywhere! I was aware of that first full moon after spring equinox rule...always thought it was delightfully pagan of Christians to have such an earth related tradition.
One Easter I was fortunate to be visiting the greek island of Corfu where Easter was one week later than the western one. (the entire weekend celebration was full of ritual and over all a powerful and soul touching experience...even to this non-church goer)
the Greek Orthodox Church uses the Julian rather than the Gregorian calendar.. as do other countries....Ukraine?
In a rare occurrence this year, Easter is the same date on both calendars

Anyway Today is the first day of Spring!!! yay and also Nowroz Mobarak (Persian New year) A few days of wonderful celebration, feasting, gift giving and embracing fresh starts and new beginnings after the contemplative winter.
Happy Spring to one and all.
