We usually have holidays from school before Holy Thursday.
It was on Good Friday that Our Lord died on the Cross.
On that day people pay visits to the Church and they do the Stations of the Cross and they also say prayers on that day.
It is before three o'clock that the people go to the Church to do the Stations of the Cross because it was at three o'clock that Our Lord died on the Cross.
Easter Saturday and Sunday fall on different dates every year.
People eat a lot of eggs on Easter Sunday. They eat Easter eggs on that day also.
There is an old man living in my house who says that the sun dances in Easter Sunday morning. His name is Tom Reddy and he lives in Keenogue, Moyvore. I went out early on last Easter Sunday morning and I saw the sun dancing in the sky.- Collector
