EASTER IN AFRICA

HAPPY EASTER FROM AFRICA

EASTER IN AFRICA IS QUITE DIFFERENT HERE!

FRIDAY WAS A DAY OFF OF WORK - EVEN THOUGH IT IS GOOD FRIDAY IT WAS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY AND MONDAY IS ALSO A NATIONAL HOLIDAY IT IS CALLED EASTER MONDAY. WE HAVE A LOT OF JEWISH PEOPLE HERE SO THEY ARE CELEBRATING PASSOVER. ALL STORES ARE CLOSED ON FRI. AND MON. BUT ARE OPEN ON SAT. AND SUN.

THEY ALSO HAVE AN EASTER PARADE AND CELEBRATION OVER THE 4 DAY WEEKEND

THIS IS ALSO NOT WHAT YOU THINK--IT IS A CRICKET TOURNAMENT WITH THE PLAYERS PARADED AROUND THE FIELDS.

THEY DO HAVE EASTER EGG HUNTS--BUT THOSE ARE DONE ON EASTER MONDAY.

NOT MUCH IS SAID ABOUT THE REAL MEANING OF EASTER AND THE DEATH AND RESURECTION OF JESUS CHRIST .

WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GLORIOUS EASTER AND REMEMBER THE TRUE MEANING OF THIS SEASON
