What does Easter mean to you?

Thank u, it has been a long time ago but u never forget i guess. A picnis sounds like great fun. I hope y'all enjoy yourselves. I wish my son & his family would come to because i have no family left but my children & their families. It will be o.k. I spend alot of time alone & am use to it. Have a great weekend.

Sorry to hear about your sister and that it is a sad time of year for you. It is a great time to be with family, but my family are all interstate. Sorry to hear that your son is not interested in spending the day with you on Sunday. I hope that you have others to spend some quality time with on the day. I am thinking of going for a drive out into the country and having a picnic by a waterfall or something with my wife and kids. I just hope the weather clears in time.

Thank you, I will. You always have your myLot friends for company.

We had a little egg hunt in the morning for our daughter and went to my parents' for lunch. Ate so much I needed to nap and fell asleep on their couch for two hours ...I looked up Baha'i faith, it is very interesting, what made you decide to practice this religion? I like its principles.

We do not practice Baha'i, but it is an alternative that is offered at the kids school. They have to learn religion which is Christian by default, but parents can choose to opt out of that class and have their children go to a Baha'i class instead at the same time as the rest of the class is learning Christian religion. We chose to have our kids learn this as we wanted them to learn a more broader form of religious learning. Not just one school of thought.

It is great to have a four day break. Is it the start of school holidays over there as well? Our kids learn Baha'i at school instead of the normal Christian religious education. I am not sure if they are taught much about the true meaning of Easter in that or not, but they are aware of it's origins. We spent Easter Sunday with an awesome bushwalk to a spectacular swimming hole at the base of a waterfall in a gorge. It was really an amazing spot! We had a great day. What did you get up to?

That is good to know that you do not celebrate it just because most of the western world do. Many cultures today are losing their traditions and becoming "Westernised", which is sad. Australia is very diverse in it's religion, but is mainly Christian so we observe Easter traditions. I am not religious though as I was not brought up this way. I do however like the Hindu religion and the Hare Krishna faith. I have been to a few of their celebrations here. I find it much more peaceful and relaxing than the Christian religions. One of these days I will get around to reading the Bhagavad Gita in full. I have read pieces of it, but not gone through it all yet.

At least you have work. There are many who would love to be working. I would not like to be working when everyone else is enjoying themselves on this long weekend though.

Happy Easter to you too! So you obviously celebrate the religious meaning of Easter which is great to see.

Yes friend we do! THanks to you too! God bless and Cheers!

Ok, I am not sure what you are trying to say.
