Hmmm... it celebrates the resurrection of the gods, the rebirth of the world, and the start of Spring. I don't think that fits, either.

Sounds like the weekend I've just had (except for the "church services" and "pageants" bit, and those were on offer). Mind you, we have two family birthdays around Easter, so maybe we're enjoying ourselves more than we should?
Anyway, we're wandering pretty off-topic by now. "Moderator, heal thyself!"
