Easter.

Tomorrow is Easter. And Easter is the most important celebration in Christianity! It's all about how Jesus took on all the burden of OUR sins, how He died for us. All the pain He went through so that we can have eternal life. And the way to celebrate Easter in Cyprus is: the midnight of the previous day you go to the Church and some time after midnight all the lights go out, and there's this candle that was supposedly lit from this fire that has been burning in Jesus' grave and they fly it all around the world for all Christians to get this fire. I think it's an Orthodox thing alone.Anyway and then you have to keep your candle burning until you go home and light a bigger candle that's supposed to be burning for the whole year round? i think. Anyway. So all kids have these huge decorated candles, and they are very colorful, and i haven't celebrated Easter in this way for [according to my age] a lot of years! And an orthodox or not, it's nice to be celebrating in anyway!So this year i am celebrating easter for 2 days in 3 different ways, and one of them is the Orthodox way. And for the past week i realized that i don't have a pretty candle. But here i couldn't find one anywhere...so i bought a candle, to decorate, but i lost all my flower and butterflies and bees and stuff box, so i was stuck with a plain red candle! Until a few minutes ago i had the brilliant idea of using my photo-album ribbons just so it won't be a plain candle! and this is the result.
Nothing like i would like to have, but better than nothing!
