Easter is coming

We celebrate Easter on any Sunday from March 22nd to April 25th . This year we’ll celebrate Easter on the 24th of April, too.

The name Easter seems to come Eostre, the pagan goddess of spring worshipped in Northern Europe long before the advent of Christianity.

Knocking eggs together

Eggs and spoon raceInstruction:• Each team stands in single file behind the starting

line and opposite their respective baskets, set in the ground about 5 yards away.

• At the whistle, the first player in each line, balancing an egg on a spoon, races around his team's basket, then back to transfer the egg onto a spoon held by the next teammate. The recipient races to the basket, and the first runner hands his spoon to the third person.

• The race continues until one team finishes the course. Anyone who drops an egg must run to the starting line for another before

resuming.
