Easter, in Christian countries, is a time of celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. But the celebrations of Easter have many other customs and legends that are pagan in origin and basically have nothing to do with Christianity. Did you know that in the United States alone, about ninety million chocolate Easter bunnies are made for Easter each year? Read more about the origins of Easter and traditions in our article entitled, The Story of Easter.

I would like to say a big thank you to all those who participated in the Easter drawing competition sponsored by Agenda Bookshop. We had some very nice presentations, however, a big well done goes to Keturah Desira Demicoli for her lovely drawing. Look out for more drawing competitions in the coming weeks!

Happy Easter holidays!

See you next Thursday
