It's a bit weird, Since I'm an Orthodox, I celebrate Easter in May. On the other hand, Catholic Easter is next week end, right???
Oh, well, I shall be in the middle of my exams by them.
Back home, everybody is baking cakes and other traditional food. We hardly ever eat chocolate for Easter, also we can make one of our cakes with chocolate. Mom prefers it with cheese, I prefere it with cream.
It's a huge deal - Easter. Even more than Christmas. Maybe a bit more than Christmas, due to the food specialities... I don't particularly enjoy them, but I remember years when mom would spend days in kitchen... thanks Lord she came to her senses right now.
It's a very private holiday and we don't have friends coming over, because basically there is no reason to celebrate. All kids go to church to take home "the light", and there's a beautiful messe given in open air if it's hot enough. I remember that every single year I would be dead tired by midnight and my feet would hurt terribly from standing up... It was a different type of holiday, a special one, non the least.
Merika, almost no one in my family eats eggs either - except for my father. HE'll eat almost anything, LOOL!!!
