About a week ago, I found out some news that shocked me. Easter here is no big deal. Just another Sunday. I couldn't believe it. In the US, Easter and Christmas are the biggest days of the year for the Christian church. It's the two biggest days that we celebrate. Church is extra special and then we spend the day with family. Here, the only people that observe it are Catholics. And they dress in all black. For the other churches, it's not a day that is made of big deal of.
I am still trying to wrap my head around it. I'm not saying they don't understand the resurrection or take it for granted. They simply just don't make a big deal of celebrating it once a year like we do. I don't know what to make of it. I keep saying to George... but it's Easter!!!
So, I don't know if we should try to celebrate it like they do in the US or just go along with how they do things here. I would love to have people over for a big meal that day, but I think we'll be at church in the morning and then have class as scheduled in the afternoon.
I'll let you know what we end up doing.
