Easter Eve






Today is Easter Eve.  I don’t think I have ever heard the day between Good Friday and Easter called Easter Eve.  Did I just make that up?  Why shouldn’t Easter get an Eve along with Christmas and New Year’s Day?  This from a non-religious person who doesn’t really celebrate the real Christian meaning of Easter.  We all find our path one way or another.  Oh dear, I apologize if that sounded totally sacrilegious. 😬  I did find myself thinking of Jesus yesterday.  My son actually made a comment that nowadays a lot of people are about being spiritual as opposed to practicing a religion.  This is definitely me.  I do respect religions and their beliefs, just not when they claim exclusivity in having the only true and correct doctrines and beliefs. 

So after doing a google search, I have now learned, in the year of our Lord 2024, that there is a Holy Saturday. 

It is true, though, that people don’t typically refer to the Saturday before Easter as Easter Eve, so I guess I’m not just totally clueless.

Scientology

COVID

One of the unsettling things about COVID-19 was that before actually contracting it, no one could be absolutely certain where they might fall on its’ Russian roulette wheel of lethalness.  Healthy people with few risk factors could take comfort in believing that they would be unlikely to become seriously ill, but there were always stories and cases in the news of young and seemingly unlikely victims who had in fact lost their lives to COVID.  When I finally got it myself in summer 2022, I had very brief and mild symptoms.  I might totally have my vaccinations to thank for this because in years gone by before I started getting annual flu shots, I had some flus that did a good job of kicking my but and keeping me down for a full week. I must have written that for the benefit of some future people who know little about COVID-19, because obviously anyone who has recently gone through the pandemic doesn’t need this information. 🫢
