Easter Thread 2015: How Do You Celebrate Easter? (VV #4)

[United North Atlantic States]

So, obviously, Easter is coming up on Sunday. Nearly everyone who is reading this will be planning in some manner this weekend for a traditional Easter celebration. Of course, Christianity is extremely divided in ideology and culture, so Easter celebrations vary by sect; different geographic regions (such as the nations in Europe) have different cultures, even within the context of the same holiday being celebrated by people of the same denomination of the same religion; and plenty of non-Christians celebrate Christian holidays including Easter, whether they care for the Christian resurrection story behind Easter or not.

My own perspective: I do celebrate Easter in the typical American fashion. However, I am an atheist and an antitraditionalist, so I wouldn't celebrate such holidays as Easter were it not for my family members who practically force me to.

[InfPeria]

Since i don't like the idea of families united just for holidays, and i am born in a family which is not that tradicionalist, its just another saturday to go dancing.

[Ifreann]

I'll be working. I imagine I'll find some time to eat chocolate.

Easter Sunday is another Saturday to go dancing?

WITCH!

[Camelza]

Usually with family and friends, I also attend church at easter and take part in the march of the epitaph from church to church, even if I don't actually believe it's nice to participate in such massive and warm gatherings of people.

[Diopolis]

I celebrate lent with lots and lots of prayer, fasting, and such. Easter I celebrate with mass, and then my family all gathers together to eat good food made even tastier by the fasting, play egg-themed games, and dress in rabbit costumes. Such things are traditional, and fun.

Today Good Friday its a holiday here. Schools here took off yesterday, Good Friday until Monday.

Easter, when many people here eat Ham dinners.

Here some people hide plastic Easter eggs with chocolate and money for the kids to find.

Stop kindling.

Supposedly, Saturday is Glory Saturday (Sabado de Gloria) in which you can party if you want.

I've always heard it referred to as holy Saturday.

Found out that after 1955 it was officially changed to holy Saturday. Before it was Glory Saturday. Seems it is still known by Glory Saturday in many places. Supposedly, tomorrow after the sun goes down you celebrate. In a Mexican town of Jerez in the State of Zacatecas they really go all out celebrating. They celebrate the whole day.

That seems really nice.

[Torisakia]

I only celebrate Easter so I can get candy, especially the day after Easter when it's all 50% off.

We don't have that where I live . But I don't particularly mind long masses, so it evens out.

No, I don't celebrate a pagan fertility rite hijacked by a bronze age monotheistic cult.

You should. A little extra fertility never hurt anyone.

[Conscentia]

So far, with a flag change.

I've got enough kids already.

All that is missing is the sneer of Caiaphas.

Then maybe you need less fertility. I don't know if there's a holiday for that.

"Pagan" I see that magical word of a vagueness again.

Joking aside Efraim-Judah better not go, and hijack this thread on some rant about their views on how everything is pagan outside of their form of monotheism (despite the fact they are unapologetic dualists).

Anyway Happy Easter to everyone.

[United Russian Soviet States]

I celebrate Easter with my family. It is a time to reflect on how great our Lord is.

I know... I'll start celebrating retsaE.

How do you un-sacrifice a goat?

Maybe try sacrificing it in ice instead of fire?

[Allegan County]

I don't. Plus, I hate chocolate. Well, I guess I could say I celebrate by not working *perks of living in a Catholic country*
