Re: Happy Easter All !!!
Here we go again.
Why do people these day's insist that Sunday is Easter Day and guzzle their eggs?
Especially those people who call themselves Christians.
Easter Day is on Monday.
Monday is the third day after the crucifixion.
Christ was killed on Good Friday and on the third day the stone was rolled away.
There are 24 hours in a day. The 3rd day is Monday when the stone was rolled away and Jesus had risen.
We roll the eggs on Easter Monday to symbolize the rolling away of the stone.
When we were kids we weren't allowed to touch our eggs till the Monday when we went to the park to roll them down the hill.
It's a huge event in Preston.
If it was raining we would roll them down the stairs.
