May the Easter bunny bring you all the chocolate eggs you can eat in one sitting.
No, but seriously, following the austerity of today, Good Friday, when we’re all feeling a bit sad because it was the day Jesus was crucified, it’s the day when we can now officially eat Hot Cross Buns, even though they’ve been on sale in Morrisons for months.
Sunday is the day of the resurrection. So Easter Day is a day of rebirth, when eggs become symbols for new life and we can gorge on chocolate now that the period of fasting is over.
It’s a celebration day for families to get together and enjoy Easter egg hunts and shared food and rejoicing.
If you’re religious – and even if you’re not – you can go to a church service for one of the most important days of the Christian calendar.
We’ll be in France and I’m not even sure our closed village church will be open.
And family will be back home, so we’ll be making the most of it by celebrating Easter Sunday with friends instead.
Happy Easter to you all, and here’s to new life.
