HAPPY EASTER
HAPPY Easter "Easter, also called Pascha, is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.[1] It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his crucifixion around AD 33. Many non-religious cultural elements have become part of the holiday, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter." [source: Wikipedia]

Hallo Kjell
Danke für die Ostergrüsse. Bei uns in der Schweiz ist es trotz Frühling wieder Winter. Es schneit und ist kalt. Also nichts für einen Ironman.

Hi mein Großer,
liebe Ostergrüße auch auf diesem Wege an dich und Blake. In HH ist es heute zwar kalt, aber die SONNE strahlt. Der Osterhase konnte also seine Eier gut verstecken.
Herzlich deine Mom
