The only decorations in my house on Easter Sunday will be the vomit all over my carpets and walls after I’ve destroyed half a dead animal, a crate of beer and my own body weight in wine. get in the spirit and add some chocolate to it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo89 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Maybe one for the 'things you always wondered thread' but why do they change the dates every year? I suppose it needs to be a Sunday, but why not make it the same date and then the Sunday closest to that date is Easter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because it is always at the same time as Passover, as that's where Jesus went to celebrate when he got taken out by the Romans. Judaism follows a lunar calendar so the date changes every year.

Cade Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 So there's this magic sky fairy, right, and he impregnated a woman and the resulting child was the son of the magic sky fairy but was also the magic sky fairy and he did lots of magic tricks and spread socialist ideas around the shop and folk started calling him the king of the Jews but the Jewish leaders didn't like this so they swatted him to the Romans and they nailed him to a cross then he died but then he came back to life as a zombie and forgave everybody then he went up into the sky and we're all supposed to have learned something about human life or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon which occurs after the northern hemisphere vernal equinox (taken to be march 21st). Your suggestion is far too sensible.

Bit of a family get together, all the kids with their decorated hard boiled eggs. Out to Duddingston to roll the eggs down down Arthur's Seat, then a couple of refreshments in the Sheep Heid, with a hearty Sunday dinner and a few more refreshments to follow. Maybe even fit in the football if it's a decent game on the telly. Fantastic stuff. 11 hours ago, jonesy said: I've destroyed half a dead animal, a crate of beer and my own body weight in wine.

Locky Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Is Easter not still nearly 2 weeks away? Under the age of 18 then enjoy the chocolate. Over the age of 18 then enjoy the long weekend off work. Nothing more than that though, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big tattooed Caitlin squeezing herself into that and parading about Tesco’s car park- no ta. My car got egged in town by street rats a couple of years ago at Halloween- if I’d have caught them I’d happily have turned them over to the Penicuik locals and they would do their whicker man thing with them.
