Happy Easter to all Copts and Happy Sham al Nessim

Happy Easter to all Copts and a happy Sham al Nessim, get out, go to the zoo, or a park eat some fesikh and enjoy the breeze! And go easy on the meat and fesikh.

Apparently someone mistakenly took Coptic Easter and Sham al Nessim for April fools day...

UPDATE:

A tragic aspect of this year´s Sham al Nessim celebrations hit the towns of Luxor and Sohag as well as the Governate of Menoufiyya, when a total of 11 children drowned in three different accidents.

A very late happy Moulid al Nabi

As always the religious and cultural celebrations comes in one big cluster these days, and i would like to wish a late happy Moulid al Nabi , Purim, Nourous, and Easter to all my Muslim, Jewish, Iranian, Kurdish and Christian readers(Catholics and Protestants, Orthodox including Copts will have to wait a while longer). I would especially like to extend my wishes to Pope Benedict, ever since Regensburg, you´ve seemed a bit grumpy about inter religious dialouge, your Grace and this easter is apparently no exception to that rule.
