04. Easter time!

My family is really traditional, so we respect all the customs which are connected with Easter. Every year there is a chaos in my house. Each member of the family has its own stuff to do. The Holy Saturday is the most crazy day. There is so much to do, especially in the kitchen. Cooking is women's thing, but my dad helps us with pleasure. His spicy vegetable salad is an inherent element of Easter. Of course, before doing anything in the kitchen, we have to get down to the household chores. It's unpleasant and, unfortunately, time-consuming work. Besides cooking and cleaning, there are some Catholic duties. Every year we take part in the liturgies of the Holy Weekend. I am also responsible for going to the church and to have the food blessed. After all these things I have finally some time to spend with the family. This is what I like the most in Easter. In our daily lives we are too busy even to talk with each other and this is the period, when we can change it. Obviously, there are more reasons why I like Easter so much. One of them is of course eating - I just can't wait for tasting all these delicious dishes! Unfortunately, I have to focus on my student's duties now. I intend to use this free time to enrich my knowledge about Latin and literary studies. Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed!

Happy Easter!
