Happy Easter to those who celebrate! (And for others, hopefully your day is filled with joy.)
I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2

I knew, therefore I'm catholic myself, I guess it slipped my mind, til i was told. So yeah I should know..coz every easter there's a special service at our church. Everybody forms a line as if to serve communion, and they kiss the cross, then the priest draws a cross on your forehead. Is that how your church does it Anne?

You're Catholic and they do that? I am Catholic, and we get a cross on our heads on Ash Wednesday, but not on Easter Sunday. - Laura PS I LOVE the Easter Bunny Rap!!!! That is just so cute!

The kissing of the cross sounds Good Friday-ish (or Holy Thursday I don't rememeber), but iirc from last year, we didn't have a priest make a cross on our heads. I think we just went back to our seats.

Yes, both of you (Laura & Shadow) are right. *wink* In our church, the kissing of the cross is what we do, than, the priest or Deacon draws an ash of a cross on our foreheads.

I had a good easter. I'm not religious so this is what I did I had to work late the night before (or early sunday, depending on how you look at it - 330am). My husband woke me up and he hid about 50 mini chocolate eggs for me. I only got to play that once when I was a kid (....I was in grade 9!) so my husband feels he has to get me to catch up on some kid stuff. Happy belated Easter!!!!
I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.

I was brough up Lutheran (yep, typical Minnesotan), but went to a Catholic church on Easter, St. Olaf in downtown Mpls. My stepmom is Catholic, so she & my dad go to each other's church on different Sundays. It was a beautiful service. They used an awful lot of incense, though. It was a good thing I thought to take allergy stuff beforehand.
