SAD NEWS HERE! I live in a very politically correct country (name withheld to protect the guilty). We are not suppose to use the "E" word. The national media has been calling this weekend, "The long Weekend." Our government is catering to all the immigrants so no "E" word can be used. Apparently, the new immigrants might be offended? If you ask me for my 5 cents worth, I would say they are trying to destroy our heritage and our culture.

We are supposed to be good tourists when we travel and obey all their customs and traditions of the countries we visit. But at home we have to suppress who we have been for the last 400 years.

I think there is something wrong with this approach but then who am I to "blow against the wind."
 
PackerJohn, this year Easter, Passover and Eid of Ramadan all coincide.

There is nothing stopping you and me today from declaring "Christ is Risen" to one another and responding with "He is risen indeed" but that would not be an appropriate general greeting.

Today, if I encountered some celebrating Muslims I would greet them with "Eid Mubarak" and I would be rewarded with a warm smile. If I had Jewish friends or neighbours I would say "Happy Pesach". To my family I'd say "Happy Easter". There is absolutely nothing making me say anything other than what I choose to say. You have the same freedom.
