Born On A Cusp

At home this weekend we had a cross-cultural occasion to mark both the Christian celebration of Easter and the Hindu festival of Holi.

With neither feast falling on exactly the same date each year, this was one time when they coincided one day after the other. So the weekend was spent commemorating both, with FrenchBeard giving us lessons about Holi, the festival of colours to welcome the coming of spring, and my parents sharing notes about Easter, the remembrance of the resurrection of Christ Jesus.
