	*Happy Easter dear Amanda !* *I almost failed to fulfill my promise to visit this great forum. I am very sorry for being brief for the moment, and couldn`t pass through whole topic. I`ll be back to read all this great poems.* *For now I`d write only for what have been asked, and what is related to this our day.* In Orthodox Christian religion (it was the same church with Roman Catholics until 1054) THE BIGGEST HOLIDAY IS EASTER, and after it comes Christmas. (Because, main point of Jesus mission IS HIS SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS, DEATH AND THEN RESURRECTION.) *Before Easter, people fast 7 weeks (49 days), EATING ONLY VEGETABLES COOCKED without any fatigue. During the fasting, all physical pleasures (including making physical love) should be avoided.* Each Saturday and Sunday, people can confess their sins, and receive the holy communion. If man go to receive the holy communion, before taking it, he/she is not permitted to eat or drink anything. Each one can receive the holy communion each day when is liturgy. *DURING THE BIG OR HOLY FRIDAY no one plays any except sacral musics ... no one laughs in public and you cann`t hear people even speaking loudly.* *And when Easter comes (this year Orthodox Easter would come next weekend) .... joy can be felt everywhere.* *God bless you all AND HAPPY EASTER TO YOU!* *Luka*

	Hello Luka, Thank you for coming in and sharing Easter celebrations in your city, you shared some interesting information to me of your country in your Easter Greeting that I thought others may find interesting too. The people in your country show more reverence where they are quiet during this time that I thought was very respectful. I remember when I was young this respect and reverence quieter time was observed in church especially during prayer and reading of the bible passages. However over the years this respect was slowly got pushed further to the background. Some parents were not quietly taking their crying and bored children from the room. There were many times like Easter that respect and reverence could have been observed more in church that was annoying during prayer and children were allowed to run up and down the aisles, or heard banging, scratching their feet, rustling paper etc that could be very distracting trying to hear. Fasting was not a practice that I really learned about or participated, except I learned for specific prayer, it was suggested you could do this. I do not recall that we ate anything in particular over Easter like is traditional over Christmas whereby we had turkey or goose or very large sized meat usually something we did not have a lot of during the year. (especially with the whole family which could be 20 or more) christmas fruit cake and christmas fruit steamed pudding. I enjoy learning the different cultures how we observe and celebrate different events I have found quite fascinating. There are some countries who dress up in their National Costumes. New Zealand does not have a national costume nor national dance - our native New Zealanders, the Maori who are Polynesian have their own costumes, dances and songs. Amanda

	What a huge lie the world has been told over the years that some have actually 'swallowed' and believed that an unborn baby is a 'fetus', or worse still - tissue. Miscarriages are termed abortions in the medical field, which is also hard to accept. Because abortion is a deliberate act to choose not to go full term and give birth. Miscarriage is not a choice, abortion is. These are lies straight from the pits of hell and Satan is the father of all lies!! Empty Arms You have to be a woman who has experienced the loss of an unborn babe to know that mothers mourn from day to day Oh yes we may not have got to hold her or dressed her up in pink and lace Maybe we did not even get to look upon her face The grief is very real and so is the pain it does not go away after days of rain The memories stay with us and we wonder what would you have been? Doctor, Lawyer or maybe a Marine. It is also hardest when kind meaning family and friends tell you that there can be more because you are still young. The baby lost was not a doll That can be replaced as if it did not have a soul The experience was real, you knew and felt it The years go by and perhaps you have one or two more these other babies do not and cannot replace that precious baby who came before. The hardest time is at Christmas or baby's birthday As you travel down, memory lane I know all babies are not lost altogether they go up to Heaven to be with the Lord Jesus He will take care of them, with His abundant love They will be basking in His sunshine above Amanda Martin-Shaver ©
