Easter it is a pagan word coming from a the Greek name of a goddess known throughout the Eastern Mediterranean from the Bronze Age to Classical time Astarte. For the Christian Orthodox faith instead of Easter, is Passover.
So have a good Passover everyone
No special plans here beyond baking some paska.

Here's a scan of it. Please don't blame the size of the scan on me. I sent my sister a printed copy and she scanned it and put it on her facebook page. I have no idea why she made it this small. One thing I do that's different is at the end of the recipe. When making the sugar-water solution I bring the water to a boil before adding the sugar, and I'll disolve as much sugar as it will take. A hot liquid will disolve more sugar and give a shinier finish on the finished product.

Have a wonderful weekend Tammy, and a safe journey.
Enjoy that Chilli! Love Chilli, really fancy some now!
Peace
Have a good one!
In church today, we celebrated the resurrection of Christ and sensed His power and presence. I just realized the JW Memorial was devoid of resurrection references. With the emphasis on Jewish?! Passover at Memorial, do JWs emphasize the resurrection in a meeting 3 days later like Christians do who commemorate Good Friday (with death/ communion) and Easter (resurrection)? I imagine an aversion to 'pagan' Easter might preclude an emphasis on resurrection just as an aversion to Christmas downplays Christ's birth (since JWs deny the incarnation of God and the physical resurrection of Christ, I can see why they focus on the oddly titled 'Lord's evening meal' alone). Incarnation and resurrection are biblical truths. We don't have to observe the trappings of Santa and Easter Bunnies/eggs, do we!
Just another weekend to me. Hee Hee Hee...
