Well done, Ariel

Thank you Rose!

Happy Easter to you Rose and Ariel also. May you have a great day!

Thank you dear Shay! Enjoy yours!

Thanks Ariel. Sunday is a working day for me. Had a fine day 'though at work.

There are really great days. Maybe because of the holy religious days it is unearthly peacefulness you can feel it in the air. The whole Nature is quietly relieved frozen. Nice!

ur easter time gets more and more off the beginning of spring because u use the Julianic Calendar. but when did the story behind this feast happen? do u want to celebrate it in autumn once?

Guadal you aren't right. Our Easter is always 1 week after the Catholic/Protestant Easter and every 4 years they coincide. Please read more!

P.S. Not to mention that Easter, no matter Catholic/Protestant or Orthodox one, is not on a fixed date so it can't coincide (or rarely does) with the astronomic beginning of spring.

"Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March corresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May."

Ariel, like always I am proud of you. Thanks

Anytime Rose! I hope we will enjoy your presence here more often! And of other Bulgarians, too!
