Not until Passover!
Found this cute little article (totally worth the read) while shamelessly blog-hopping one day and found this blog. It is from last year when both Western Easter and Orthodox Pascha were on the same day. It's a sweet little article and I had no idea that Rita Wilson was Greek. Well, you know, Wilson, it sure doesn't sound Greek. Must be a stage name. It made me think of the childhood I'm providing for my children, which will probably be close to what Rita describes, and I hope they will be in love with their Orthodox Christian faith and have many fond memories.
Fun facts for the day:
The West, being the Roman Catholic church and it's Pope at the time changed the date from the Orthodox date of the first Sunday after Passover in the 1500s.
Protestants accepted this Roman Catholic dating in the 1700s.
Both fun facts were learned in my cathechism class this afternoon. Interesting stuff.
If you celebrate Easter, Happy Easter to you! But I won't say Christ is Risen for about four more weeks! :)

Pascha is my absolute favorite service. It is so moving and just envelops all of the senses. I can't wait!
I've heard that Tom Hanks is indeed Orthodox, that he converted when he married.
