what is Easter for?
I don’t know.
All hail, for He is risen
a thoroughly pagan festival
eggs as a symbol of life
a focus for spring cleaning
what is Easter for?
I don’t know.
Palm Sunday, flowers, processions
sugar lambs sold next to churches
water guns*, pranks and laughter
Easter breakfast and supper
what is Easter for?
I don’t know
I missed my Ryanair plane
too viral for it to soar
Maybe I’ll bake me a cake
and Zoom the family some more
Maybe I’ll clean the windows
for sunshine to come indoors
while I try
to figure out
what is this year’s
Easter
for.
*in Poland, Easter Monday has a tradition of pouring water on other people. While it started as a village courting habit, if you *have* to leave the house on Easter Monday, I’d advise a water gun – it’s you against the world!
