About EasterJesus Christ died on a cross on a Friday almost two thousand years ago. Christians believe that on the following Sunday, Christ rose from the dead and, in doing so, proved that He is the Son of God. The day Jesus died and was buried is known as Good Friday. The following Sunday is Easter.Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Son of God each year between
Religious celebrations include family gatherings and special Easter church services.
So where do the Bunnies come in?In olden times, Christian monks were very good at explaining their religion to those who hadn’t heard of God or Jesus. They almost always took sym-
to teach about God. The timing of Easter was such that it coincided with the spring festivals of many pagan religions. (In northern Europe, the goddess of spring was Eostre -- some people say that Easter may have even gotten its name from this goddess). These spring festivals celebrated the wakening of the world after spring. Luckily, this “awakening” went very well with the monks teaching of Jesus’ resurrection! The ideas of the rebirth of spring were merged with the Christian teachings of Jesus resurrection to form the Easter holiday most of us know today.
Easter TraditionsEaster traditions differ around the world. Here are just a few of them.Children in the United States and Canada say the Easter bunny or rabbit brings eggs at Easter. In Germany and England, they say the hare brings them. The hare looks like a rabbit, but it’s larger, with longer ears and legs. In Australia, rabbits are quite a nuisance as they are not native to the land. For this reason, there is an attempt being made to dub the Bilby as the chief egg bringer of the land. For lack of a better description, the Bilby looks a bit like a cross between a mouse and a rabbit.In Italy, Belgium and France, children say Easter eggs are brought by the church bells. There, church bells do not ring from Good Friday until Easter
People in Russia eat an Easter bread that is full of plump white raisins and tastes like cake. In some countries of Eastern Europe, people enjoy an Easter Cake called babka. It’s shaped like a skirt -- babka means “little old woman”. Easter cakes in Italy are shaped like a rabbit, which is a symbol of birth and new life and many other countries make cookies and cakes shaped like a lamb, a symbol of Jesus.

41st Earth Day Exceeds 100 Million Acts! Marsha Johnston
From sixth-grade Iraqi mine survivors planting trees without hands and Detroit school kids building a plastic bottle boat
to Malays cleaning up their waterfalls, individuals and organizations from Delhi, Louisiana to New Delhi have racked up over 100 million Acts of Green in honor of the 41st Earth Day.
The achievement puts Earth Day Network’s Billion Acts of Green cam-paign well on the road to success for delivering a billion Acts to world leaders at the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio
chapter to Earth Day’s historic legacy of inspiring ordinary people to take action against Earth crises.
Earth Day India was one of our great highlights this year, as approximate-ly 150 cities and towns in India held Earth Day events, with an enthusi-
included the million-member trade union Self-Employed Women’s Asso-ciation (SEWA).
Global Day of Conversation events with their constituents, in the U.S., China, Macau, Iraq, Mexico, UK, Albania, Italy, Uganda and South Af-rica.
Schools remained a huge contributor to Earth Day observances, with over 160 universities in the U.S holding over 250 events and 30 million elementary school students in over 60,000 schools receiving Earth Day materials as part of our Green Schools initiative.
Earth Day Network’s Canopy Project continues to make huge inroads against deforestation, as partners such as Trees for the Future, United Na-tions Environment Programme, Roots & Shootsin China, the Iraq Minis-try of Agriculture and the African Rainforest Conservancy plant over 45 million trees across Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
Finally, Earth Day Network just launched an “app” in collaboration with Facebook to help spread the Billion Acts of Green campaign. Go to: http://apps.facebook.com/billionactsofgreen.

about your grandchildren and future generations.
Back in the day, 20 million Americans jammed college campuses and the streets throughout the United States demanding that our leaders in Washington sit up, take
We were demonstrating for the right to a clean and healthy environment. It was the day we made Earth Day a day to celebrate and a cause to remember. It was some-thing we were doing for our kids, our grandkids, and for those who would come after, but we really didn’t know that at the time. Seriously, we were college kids who couldn’t think beyond what’s for dinner, let alone looking into the future. While some progress has been made since, it wasn’t until recent years that national atten-tion has focused on the environment. It’s gratifying, in a way, to note that as a na-
foods, and just recently, we have seen the introduction of the Chevy Volt electric car and Motor Trend 2011 car of the year. Israel is ahead of the game. This tiny country
has set a goal of all cars in Israel being electric within the next 3 years.
On this Earth Day, as a nation, as a world, we face real challenges. Environmen-tal concerns about the very real climate changes, our addiction to fossil fuels, food safety, and toxic environments that have been shown to have huge negative impacts on our children’s and grandchildren’s health.
