Happy Easter everyone! What days do you celebrate in your area? Here, public holidays are Friday, Sunday and Monday but Green Thursday is already unofficial beginning of the holidays. :)
Maybe you can tell us about your holidays when the time comes :-)Psinter said:Happy Easter! No idea! [emoji3]
I had completely forgotten about Easter.
Hahaha I guess you don't have state holidays otherwise you would surely know the reason why you don't have to go to school/work :-)Psinter said:Mom made a cake and it had chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and it was colorful [emoji3]. Only now that you wrote this thread I realized it was for Easter .
There are, and way too many in my opinion. I just don't pay attention and ignore them.Sophia said:Hahaha I guess you don't have state holidays otherwise you would surely know the reason why you don't have to go to school/work :-)

There were over 30 holidays, but they got reduced because there were too many days free for people and it was a hindrance. Nothing could get done properly since when you thought there would be 5 business days it was actually only 4 or 3 business days followed by another week with 4 or 3 business days. Things that would usually get done in 5-7 business days took 2 or more weeks to get done because of the holidays. It was a real hindrance and I still think that even when they have been reduced it is a hindrance.
You realize they are a hindrance when you need something from the government ASAP and they take an eternity to serve you simply because they are off in holidays.
Yes, although even when I think holidays are a hindrance it doesn't mean I act like a jerk towards those who which me a happy holiday. I just wish them back: "Right back at ya!"Sophia said:That's really a lot.
Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is considered the most important holiday in the Christian calendar and is a time for reflection, repentance, and renewal.
The date of Easter is determined by the lunar calendar and the spring equinox. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox, which can vary between March 22 and April 25.
Easter is celebrated in various ways around the world, but some common traditions include attending church services, decorating eggs, and participating in egg hunts. In some countries, there are also parades, feasts, and other cultural celebrations.
While Easter is primarily a religious holiday, many non-religious traditions have become associated with it, such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg decorating. Some communities also hold secular events and festivals during Easter, such as carnivals and fairs.
Easter is primarily celebrated in Christian-majority countries, but it is also observed in many non-Christian countries, such as Australia, Brazil, and India. However, not all countries have a public holiday for Easter, and the ways in which it is celebrated may vary greatly.
