Easter Sunday/Monday...

'my Kit-kat easter egg this year...'

selama 6 nak masuk 7 tahun aku kat ireland, now i know the meaning of Easter sunday and Monday. tak pernah nak try tahu ape maksud easter sunday or monday pon sblm ni. yang aku tahu, easter monday=bank holiday. kalau zaman student, bestlah sbb boleh skip clinic/class for a day. xyah attend lecture. kalau zaman kije plak, kalau kene oncall pd easter sunday or monday plak, meaning dapat double pay. with the same load of work, tp dpt gaji 2 kali ganda, sapa x nak? since Irish celebrate easter sunday/monday, diorang selalunya xnak buat oncall time cuti2 mcm ni. kami x kisah je. bukan celebrate pon kalau dok umah...

pg td, tetibe terpk nak tanya hubby, ape maksud Easter sunday/monday. then,
hubby kate, 'bukan hari ni christians percaye hari ni resurrection of jesus ke???' ,
sy plak jawab, 'oo,iye ke???xtahu pon'.hehe...mmg xtahu until today.

pastu, bile bace dlm internet, baru paham kenapa diorg sambut easter sunday and monday. mereka samakan easter sunday=resurrection day. hari mereka percaya nabi isa dihidupkan kembali selepas disalib.

Tarikh easter sunday pulak selalunya jatuh pada akhir March/awal April. mereka pon bergantung pd kalendar bulan utk menentukan tarikh jatuhnya easter. mula2 dulu, christians pon ade mslh utk menentukan bila jatuhnya easter Monday, tapi selepas consensus dicapai, mereka sepakat kata easter Sunday jatuh pd hari Ahad selepas March 21st/selepas bulan mengambang mengikut kelandar bulan. kalau thn ni, easter sunday jatuh pd 12/4/09.

psl easter egg plak, ia adalah cultural element yg diserapkan kedalam agama. mula2 dulu, diorg guna telur ayam yg dihias dgn kaler2 yg menarik utk menyambut easter sunday.tp makin lama, diorg ubah kepada coklat yg berbentuk telur utk digunakan bagi menyambut hari easter.

kalau pegi ke mall/any shops musim2 skrg, banyak coklat berbentuk telur merata2...
selalunya ade chocolate sale after the season is over... dulu2 excited jugak mkn cokelat, tapi skrg, tidak lagi. hehe...asyik mkn coklat je...mana badan x naik...
