Happy Easter, Passover and Greek Easter!
What are your plans for the Easter weekend?
What sort of family traditions do you have?
If you do not celebrate any of the holidays mentioned above, what will you do this upcoming weekend? Remember, it is a FIVE (5) day weekend!!!
Saturday morning a have a cheerleading practice but after it's over, I am going to my grandparent's house. Once I get there we are going to prepare the food for the church. At church, we get the food blessed, and when the mass is over, everybody gives everybody little chocolates. My favourite part of going to church is to see my cousins that I don't see very often. Once we get back home, we have a wonderful meal that my grandma prepared. Sunday, we are celebrating Easter with the other side of my family. We are also going to be celebrating my aunt's birthday.

DeleteThat does sound like lots of fun:D Great blog Megan and have fun!
DeleteThat’s sounds like a good Easter! Great blog Megan!
DeleteEven though my dad is catholic, we usually only celebrate Greek Easter! During this Easter Break, I will be going to my cousins house with my whole Greek side of the family. Greeks have many traditions, that most Greek people follow, like doing the lamb on the spit, we’re supposed to be fasting for 40 days, we die our red eggs, then do this game with the eggs. I will hopefully do something with my friends during this break.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a large amount of traditions!!! How large is your family it sounds like a large one?
DeleteMy greek side of the family is huge!
DeleteI don't do much for those holidays but maybe see my cousins at a restaurant or something like that. I honestly have no family traditions. But this year I am seeing my family at a expensive restaurant I do not know the name of because it will be a experience for the family and I'll probably do homework in the five day weekend because that is normal.
ReplyDeleteAre you looking forward to your break or not. I don’t think you will get homework.
DeleteNice blog
I'll be doing the same traditions like Arianna for Easter. But this year, all of my dad's family is invited to our house. It's going to be so fun and crazy. My dad's going to be roasting the lamb from the morning till the afternoon. Plus, most people are bringing there own food, so we'll basically have a buffet. The best part is celebrating Easter with loved ones. The worst part is how much I'm going to have to clean up.
ReplyDeleteThe best part is picking on the lamb while it is roasting! LOL! Hope it is not too cold on Easter Sunday since your dad will be outside most of the day!
DeleteI don't really have any plans for Easter Break. My elementary used to always have a scavenger hunt in school. Clue hunt for the older kids and chocolate hunt for the younger. So I would go there every year but since I'm here now I don't have anything to do. So I will probably just relax and watch some movies. But my cousins are coming over so I am going to make a Easter egg hunt for them and it will be really fun. My dad would always put the big chocolate bunny and whoever would find it would get a whole bag of chocolate so it'll be fun to find out who will find it, the 5 year old or the 3 year old.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome, I hope you enjoy it! Good blog.
DeleteI don’t celebrate Easter, so this Easter break I will mostly be spending it with my friends or by myself. I might go skiing one last time if it’s not too late with my bestfriend and my family. I will also be hanging out with some of my friends from elementary school this weekend, so that’s also something i’m looking forward to. Other than that, I will be spending the rest of my time watching Netflix or doing nothing at home :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good time skiing if you go! Great blog:)
DeleteThat’s sounds really fun!! Great blog:)
DeleteFor Easter this year, my family and I will be going to Montebello which is around 2 hours from here. We’re going for two days and we’re going to Parc Omega, which is a drive in zoo kind of. Other than that, I probably will just stay home and relax. We don’t really have an Easter holiday tradition but a five day weekend is great!
ReplyDeleteWow that sounds like a lot of fun!
DeleteGreat blog! :)
For Easter this year I am going to my grandfathers house and celebrate there. I will also celebrate Easter at my grandmothers house. I also celebrate Passover and I have two seders. Since I can’t have cakes and cupcakes on Passover, when I go to my grandparents house, my grandparents and cousins make special desserts that we can eat at Passover
ReplyDeleteFor this Easter I am going to my cousins house in Ontario. This is my first time going to their house for Easter because they usually come to our house.We are staying there until Tuesday and then we are coming back.I am not really sure what we will be doing but im probably just going to play with my 6 year old cousin.I can never stop her from following me which is good so I can say im her favorite cousin.:)
ReplyDeletewooooooow Daniel not stealing chocolate. Great blog
DeleteFor this Easter my family and my cousins from Ontario meet up. Every second year they come to our house so now we don't have to go on a 8 hour ride too Welland. Some of our traditions are too have a huge Easter egg hunt thru out our house. They usually take around 30 minutes to an hour because they get pounds of chocolate and candy.
ReplyDeleteFor this Easter, I will be going to my dad's parents house for Easter Sunday and my mom's parents house for Easter Monday. When I usually go over, we always eat fish, lamb, rabbit and sometimes, crumbled sausage. It is a tradition for Italians to have that as a main dish because that is how the grew up eating the main course at Easter. Also, I will be spending time with my cousins when I go over for Easter! I think we'll have lots and lots of fun together as a family!
ReplyDeleteThis Easter will be a sad one for me because my cousins, uncle and aunt will not be with us. They live in Minneapolis, but will be in New York shopping for a house, as they will be moving there. This Easter, we will go to church on Sunday with my mother's parents and then to their house for lunch where we will eat lamb. Then we will go to my father's aunt's house for Easter dinner there. My dad's relatives have always given my brother and I lots of big chocolate for Easter.
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog David! Sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteFor Easter weekend, I’m going to be celebrating Easter, my birthday, my sister’s birthday and my dad’s birthday. On the Friday my mom and I are going to start cooking for our guests we are having on Sunday. On Saturday, I’ll be going to my trumpet class. Sunday we’ll celebrate. On Monday, I’m going to practice my tap routine and to ethics homework. That’s my Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteMinus the ethics homework, that sounds like a lot of fun!
DeleteThis weekend I will be going up north to my grandparents house and we celebrate easter there. Usually we we have a bunch of chocolate eggs and a special supper. My family is catholique but we dont really think of easter as a religious holiday, its more of a special occasion that we spend with our family. Also, on Tuesday my friend is going to take me to her moms work (She works for the LBP school board) and we are gonna look after the kids at the day care and get some community service hours.
ReplyDeletethis Easter i wont be doing to much probably gonna go to a fancy restaurant with my whole family and eat a load we normally go to the restaurant and we all go for brunch the day right after also we paint eat and find loads of eggs and you already know we eat loads of chocolate and other candies
ReplyDeleteMy easter is still a hunt In my family since I have a younger sister its something that will go on for a few more years. Every year the (easter bunny)hides presents and chocolates and its made like a hunt so we explore all around the house and there is strings that leads you to your different things like my string is green my sister is pink and my brother is blue and we follow our own .Once we have found all our things we have a nice easter brunch and we celebrate, later on we usually go to my grandparents and my cousins and antes an uncles are there .We have fun spending time together and me and my cousins like to go to the nearby park and scare away the little kids there so we get the park ,not trying to be mean.
ReplyDeleteThis week-end marks the beginning of Holy Week for Orthodox Easter, with Sunday being Palm Sunday. Easter is my favorite holiday, not only because we have a huge feast on Easter Sunday but also because of its religious significance for me. Since I am an altar boy, I will be in church over 30 hours this week. It is very emotional for everyone when we hang Jesus on the cross and then when we put Him in the epitaph, which we decorate with flowers and walk around outside in a procession. On Holy Friday, we are in deep mourning and are not supposed to eat or do anything, except go to church. This is the one day where we cannot ask Jesus for help because He has died. On Saturday morning, we reenact the soldiers going to find Jesus’ tomb empty and on Saturday night, at midnight, we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. We bring new light into our house, which is a flame that has travelled all the way from Jerusalem. Before we enter our house, we mark the top of the front door of our house with the symbol of a cross, using the candle, lit with the flame from church. On Sunday, we crack our red dyed eggs, eat “tsoureki”, which is our special Easter bread, roast lamb and have a feast. Easter Sunday is a happy, festive day and for many who have been fasting for over 40 days, it is the first time they are eating meat, dairy and oil. #OrthodoxEaster #JesusHasRisen
