Celebrations/ Festivals :
Easter Baisakhi

Easter is a festival celebrated by Christians to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The date of the festival is not fixed. It is celebrated on the first Sunday of a full moon day after
March 21. It usually falls between March 21 and April 25. People are often involved in
charitable causes on this day and sing happy prayers in the church to commemorate the
rising of Jesus Christ from dead. One more vital feature of Easter is egg. Egg is a symbol of
resurrection for Christian community, so well decorated eggs and egg hunting have
become very important in Easter.

Baisakhi Festival falls on April 13th or April 14th and marks the beginning of the solar year.
People of North India, particularly Punjab thank God for good harvest. Visit to Gurudwaras,
Baisakhi processions and traditional performances are the highlights of the day. Baisakhi has
special significance for Sikhs as on this day in 1699, their tenth Guru Gobind Singh Ji
organized the order of the Khalsa.

Story: The boys and the Frogs

Some Boys were playing one day at the edge of a pond in which lived a family of Frogs. The Boys
amused themselves by throwing stones into the pond so as to make them skip on top of the
water. The stones were flying thick and fast and the Boys were enjoying themselves very much;
but the poor Frogs in the pond were trembling with fear. At last one of the Frogs, the oldest
and bravest, put his head out of the water, and said, "Oh, please, dear children, stop your cruel
play! Though it may be fun for you, it means death to us!"

Moral: Always stop to think, as your fun may be the cause of another's unhappiness.
