I know that Easter was mainly celebrated yesterday. However, this varies from place to place, branch to branch. For my friends who are Greek Orthodox, it will be next Sunday. (I believe it is the 19th) This monday, though not hugely observed in the USA is Easter Monday. It is a day for celebration and lighter festivities.
Carrying on the tradition from 1878, there was an egg roll on the White House lawn for children. I think it's great that people are carrying on traditions for so long, but I have to wonder, do other religions which are supposedly equal get the same representation in the White House? I'm pretty sure they don't. Perhaps it's time to start traditions on the lawn for them too!
Do you have holiday traditions? My coverage was pretty limited to the USA, what do the various countries you live in do to celebrate big holidays?
Whether you were rolling eggs at the White House, attending church or completely oblivious to the fact that it was Easter, I hope that your yesterday was fabulous!

Thanks, you too! I love hearing about the Easter Egg Roll. It's so cute! This year I'm pretty sure they geared it specifically towards families with gay/lesbian parents. That's cool.
