Good afternoon,
Today is the last day of Easter Holiday, 24 March 2008.
-
Easter has provided 4 consecutive days of holiday with the poeple beginning from 21 March 2008; in the first day of Easter, Hong Kong has a couple of thousand churches or religious organisations to celebrate this festival because it's a memoriate day. Recalling a joke that happened in my childhood, I only took stock in the festival because this gave me a long vacation to play with friends, classmates and do what i wanted, also it was pretty important for me not to attend the boring lectures in that moment.

Yet I remember a rabbit carried a basket of resurrection eggs on the street and sent one to each child. Each egg was coated with a riot of colour. Almost all children called its name as "Resurgent Rabbit". It was extremely possible to change the children mind that Easter Holiday was derived from that funny rabbit. Such misunderstanding to the true expression of Easter may be attributing to the advertisers spread widely to the children via the TV programme, not to mention, especially, the children programme. In fact, the school had told the story relating to Easter and how Easter got its name, but we had not paid special attention to what the teacher was saying.
-
Anyway, Easter is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year, it is believed by the Christians to be the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe the fact occurred on the third day after jesus crucifixion around AD 33.

Do you know why Jesus preached the people the word of god at the year of his 30-years-old?
If you know the story, please let me know!
