The best part is eating the ears off of a chocolate bunny.

I love me some chocolate bunnies, especially the solid milk chocolate variety!

When at the pharmacy today, I headed like a heat-seeking missle to the leftover Russel Stover chocolate bunnies. Gotta have the good stuff.

A chocolate bunny with its ears eaten off is a chocolate gopher.

Orthodox Christianity does not celebrate Easter. They celebrate Pascha.

On the Great and Holy Feast of Pascha, Orthodox Christians celebrate the life-giving Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This feast of feasts is the most significant day in the life of the Church. It is a celebration of the defeat of death, as neither death itself nor the power of the grave could hold our Savior captive. In this victory that came through the Cross, Christ broke the bondage of sin, and through faith offers us restoration, transformation, and eternal life.

Pascha is a transliteration of the Greek word, which is itself a transliteration of the Hebrew pesach, both words meaning Passover. (A minority of English-speaking Orthodox prefer the English word 'Pasch.')

I prefer Happy Resurrection Day. Resurrection Day is also the First Day of the First Fruits which begins the counting of the Omer.

Its kind of sad that Western Christians don't want to admit that they are Jewish.

Orthodox Christianity has an local outreach mission. Descent of the Holy Spirit Orthodox Christian Mission in Los Osos, California. They do broadcasts on our our local tv and have a descentoftheholyspirit dot org website. I've been learning a lot from them. Orthodox Christians have a very different view of European history than the Roman Catholics.

The Orthodox Christian liturgy is sung in Syriac (Syriac is a Syrian dialect of Aramaic). Aramaic and Hebrew are close cousins. Those who understand Hebrew can follow and understand much of their liturgy. Syriac was the language spoken at the church that was founded by Paul the Apostle in Antioch, Syria.
