A capitalised word in the title is classed as profanity?.

Anyway...

We celebrate it but we can't watch a movie about it?.

The Passion of The Christ is the only one on and THAT'S at midnight on Sunday!.

Before you Atheists pipe up......SHUSH.....you've got your own CHANNEL. Yep, the Discovery Channel.

Mate, bring ON a movie about Ramadan. Bring ON a movie about Buddha. Bring ON a movie about whatever floats Pagans boats, I'll even celebrate THEIR holidays, just don't mess with my Easter Movie.

IF you've got a problem with Easter. GO volunteer or something. Leave my MOST IMPORTANT RECOGNISED day alone.

"Leave my MOST IMPORTANT RECOGNISED day alone."

Consider it done.

Avagoodeaster.

Charlton Heston used to get a good run in the ol' biblical sagas. I will keep my fingers crossed for you StG.

Happy Easter.

Dear StG,

First of all I'd like to wish you and your family
a very Joyous Easter.
I'm not too concerned about the lack of Easter
movies that you point out. Easter is pretty
much covered in our neighbourhood.

Our local Council sponsors a "Passion Play," in our
nearby park on Good Friday. At our local church -
we have the Stations of the Cross, (also on Good
Friday). Then there's masses on Saturday and Sunday.

There's programs on television - beginning with - Good Friday,
7.30pm on the ABC - Compass: "Stations of The Cross,"
The making of. This details the staging of the
Stations of The Cross,
a re-enactment of Jesus Christ's last hours - performed at
Sydney's 2008 World Youth Day celebrations.

Then on Easter Saturday - 11.40pm - on Channel Seven,
"The Passion Of The Christ," the Mel Gibson controversial
film details the final 12 hours in the life of Jesus Christ
from the betrayal by Judas to his subsequent death.

On Easter Sunday - at 6.00am - There's Easter Sunrise Service
from the Sydney Opera House featuring a performance from
singer Marina Prior. And, at 10.05pm - on the ABC -
Compass again presents the second part of, "The Hidden Story
of Jesus," Part 2. (I watched part 1 - last week). Its
an interesting take by Robert Beckford who investigates
the remarkable parallels to the Jesus story in other faiths.

We can also go to their local DVD outlets and hire out
any Easter Classic movie that we desire. "The Robe," and
"Quo Vadis," remain my two favourites.

Thanks Foxy. You too, to you and yours.

Geez, The Robe is a fraction epic. hehe. It's a great thing that everyone around you gets involved and does something.

I think everyone should know why this weekend is special. And it is, while we're all getting something out of it.

What's next?, no Miracle on 49th at CHRISTMAS?.

Dear StG,

Easter at our house involves not only Church visits,
but traditions like - the colouring and decorating of
Easter eggs. This is a challenge to everyone's
artistic ability. Coloured eggs are a must at the
Easter breakfast. Traditional custom prevails in the
choosing of an egg for strength of shell by tapping one
egg against another. The reward for the winner with the
unbroken shell is the loser's egg.

The menu for Easter Sunday Lunch (shared with family
and friends) involves items like - Stuffed Roasted Goose or
Duck, Cold Baked Ham, Homemade Sausage, Vegetable
Salads, Easter Bread, variety of fruit, homemade cheese,
Easter Butter Lamb (table decoration), Coffee and so
on.

The festivities for this Christian holiday in the pasted
lasted for approximately one week. The season would end
with LOW SUNDAY, affectionately referred to in some areas
as "Little Easter."
