Just want to wish a holy and happy Easter to everyone. May the spirit of rebirth flourish in our hearts and give us hope for a better future. Just like in 2020, this year we didn't have Easter visit to bless our home. Every year the priest walks through the village to announce the resurrection and blesses the houses. It was a beautiful sunny day and my kids did the traditional eggs hunt. They always have lots of fun doing it. How was your Sunday? Do you celebrate Easter?

@nela13 Most people stayed at home. It was a wonderful sunny day, I have seen some neighbors having a picnic in their garden.

@rakski is that because some kids don't follow the rules? Here it happens a lot.

We celebrate, but again this year it had to be virtually. My husband and I did spend a really nice day together and had a wonderful supper. Happy Easter.

@nela13 No, not the same, but safe. We have to pray that next year will be live and in person.

I'm sorry your priest didn't do that again this year. We had a very good church service this morning. We were packed. I'm glad your children enjoyed the egg hunt.

My Sunday was ok. I didn't get to go to church, but I did get to go my great-aunt's house.

My family did not celebrate Easter since one member of the family who has special needs would not feel comfortable being outdoors at a church setting.
